Hi Lori,
Welcome to the forum!
I used to buy my oils from Wal-Mart and grocery stores but now I buy most of my oils at soaperschoice.com. I buy FOs from several different suppliers but most of the FOs I bought from Peak's and some from Nature's Garden. EOs have gotten so expensive that I haven't bought any for a couple of years. I can't really recommend any suppliers although I do like the quality of EOs from New Directions Aromatics.

Welcome, Lori!
You can usually find lots of oils/fats around town if you don't want to commit to buying in bulk just yet:
Coconut oil- can be found at Walmart, Asian markets, and even some grocery stores down the baking aisle.
Castor oil - can be found in 32 oz bottles at places like WholeFoods Mkt., Sprouts, and also some health food stores.
Lard- grocery stores, Walmart
Palm oil- Spectrum brand at WholeFoods Mkt., Sprouts, some grocery stores, Asian markets
Olive Oil- Costco, Sam's Club
High Oleic Sunflower oil- WholeFoods Mkt.
For quality FOs and EOs I would order online. There are many wonderful online vendors who cater to handmade soapmakers. I like to use these suppliers:
Peaks
Daystar
Nature's Garden
Oregon Trails
SweetCakes
TheScentWorks
WholeSaleSuppliesPlus
MajesticMountainSage
There are lots of other trustworty suppliers too, but these are the ones I use the most. Hopefully more will chime in.
