I heard that you can get essential oils at the dollar store, but does that mean the quality of the oil is bad? I am trying to make a homemade disinfectant spray. The essential oils are suppose to kill germs.

Are oils expensive? I don’t want to end up spending a lot of money for oils just to make one bottle of disinfectant.
Where can I buy inexpensive essential oils (tea tree, thyme, lemon, lavander)?
-In Toronto, Ontario if possible.

Essential oils tend to be fairly pricey, depending on which essence you get. They also have to be diluted properly, or else they can cause more trouble than they’re worth. My advice would be to get a cleaner such as Method or Sun and Earth, or maybe Seventh Generation. None of them contain synthetic compounds.
Most grocery stores that have a health food area sell essential oils, as do most health food stores. Our local A&P in the HeartLake area of Brampton has a good selection, the prices for the bottles vary from $3.00 – $20.00 depending on the type of essential oil you are looking for. You will only need to use a few drops to make disinfectant spray, so the bottles should last.
We have a small independant health food store that carries a very high qualtity brand of oil, and their prices are terrific. I’ve also seen them at Walmarts, in malls in perfume stores, etc. Probably the best thing is to call around your area to various stores of these types and see what they carry and get their prices to compare.
