Both Atkins and South Beach suggest using extra-virgin olive oil on salads and in their recipes. Replacing this expensive oil with canola oil can add to your savings.

EV olive oil does not have to be expensive. I get "fifths" at the local Trader Joe's for 4.99 a bottle of really good (by my taste) imported EV olive oil -- that's less than the "cheap" olive oil I've seen in the regular grocery stores. Also, the canola you buy in the grocery store has been treated to allow it to withstand storage in your cupboard (read damaged fats). If you want "healthy" canola, you have to buy the expensive one that has to be refrigerated.
