If it was a significant discount I would have understood but $3.00 for the 3 bottles I had...

Turns out, I want to go back and get bigger bottles more regularly because my salads (among other foods) have been mediocre without them and I never knew it. Karen was also very pleasant, helpful and passionate about all of it. Stop in and have some samples, you...
