Comparing Essential Oil Company Prices

So I've heard a few people tell me that Doterra is too pricey for them and honestly I am kind of on the same page with them. I have always been pretty hesitant to signing up with Doterra because the the hefty prices as well, but at the same time I have always known them to be high quality oils and I trust their oils. But at the end of the day I am also on a budget. So just for fun I decided to do a comparison chart for myself to see the price difference between Doterra and the retail stores in my area. And yes for the most part the retail stores are a little bit cheaper but not all of them are that much cheaper. In my comparison chart I found out that actually some of Doterra oils are cheaper then the retail stores or at least only a couple cents difference, which really isnt much when you can have confidence that the oils are high grade. 

Long story short, do your research. Just because on the surface it seems like a company is more expensive doesn't necessarily mean all of it is more expensive. Also I found that Dorterra sells a lot of oils that the retail stores just don't even sell. So it's important to know what your looking for and do some comparisons before making purchases.
