Coconut milk is cheaper than the oil? I can get a jar of coconut oil here (when it's in stock) for around $5.00 per jar and that would last me 9 or 10 days, but the coconut milk is $1.50 per can which contains only slightly more than 1 cup. That's a lot more than the oil! I'll have to look around and see if I can find the coconut milk cheaper. Since you can't get the oil anywhere around here right now, the coconut milk might be a good second choice.
