i've finally given into the craze..and doing my research..i found a ridiculously good price..
vitacost-- anybody use it? i've heard of it before, but have never used it. they sell the (storebrand, organic, EV) 54oz tub for $20.99. amazon sells the name brand one for ~$27 a tub. (same brand at vita cost is $26.49). you have to pay for shipping (i just paid $5) which evens out the price, but you also get $10 off for referral members. a friend of mine referred me..and you *each* get $10, no tax, and you also get a discount for "subscribe and save" style...10% off. which brings down the price even more.
so here's how it breaks down vitacost store brand 20.99 - 10% -$10 + $4.99 shipping = $13.88 or 25.7 cents per oz.
brand name (nutiva) from vita cost 26.49-10%-$10+4.99 = (approx, since i didn't order this) = $18.83 or 34.8 cents per oz.
amazon nutiva (sells in 2 pack) approx 25.99 (with the subscribe and save) + tax = $28.89 or 53.5 cents per oz.
