  • How much does cooking oil cost?
  • “Our oil prices have more than doubled. We went from paying a little less than $20 for a tote to now, where the most recent one was about $44 apiece,” he said. The rising cost of cooking oil, as well as other ingredients and supplies, is a significant challenge for the business.
