Were to get oil's in Philadelphia area?

Hi guys I'm new to the forum and soap making! Where does one purchase bulk or unique oil's in the Philadelphia area. I would like to go to a location and pick it up sometimes than ordering online. Oh yeah, and essential oils too!

I'm not in that area, so this is just general suggestions:
Health food stores - look for NOW brand essential oils. Make sure the ingredients read "100% lavender essential oil". Or whatever plant. Don't buy doTerra or YoungLiving - HUGE HUGE ripoff.

As for fixed oils - Wal-Mart, Costco, and Sam's Club. You may also want to look for a restaurant supply company, sometimes called a cash and carry.

I don't buy in bulk as I am a hobbyist, but I buy my largest bottles of olive and coconut at Sam's Club. I sometimes get my avocado oil from there, too.

The shops I came up with when I googled for Philadelphia had very expensive EOs and only sold shea butter. You would be better off ordering from Wholesale Supplies Plus. Free shipping for a $25 or more order. However, they do charge a $5.95 handling fee, so shipping is not really free.
