I am transportation challenged so I would like to find something close to the Lakewood mall because I must use public transportation.

If you haven't already found a local source, have you tried Trader Joe's? I think I saw some there, though I haven't looked lately. I mostly use the unpressed stuff, unless I am making something for my husband, who doesn't like the flavor. But I have seen Spectrum coconut oil in many regular grocery stores, so you might also try Von's, Stater Bros., Pavillions, and Albertson's, if you haven't tried already. As the word gets out that this stuff is actually good for you, more and more places are selling it, so perhaps by now you've found it. Hope so.
