Rust Protection - Boeshield or Fluid Film?

Has anyone seen a cheaper grade of lanoline available besides the 'USP' version?
That's all I saw when I searched on eBay.
Just wondering. Pinching pennies here.
I'm pretty sure I got mine from Amazon about a year or two ago. Don't recall if it was USP. Searched Amazon for "anhydrous lanolin" and, indeed, it all seems to be USP. Best deals I could find:
1 lb $16.99, free shipping
https://www.amazon.com/Lanolin-Grad...2865345&sr=8-4&keywords=anhydrous+lanolin+1lb
2 lb $28.49 ($14.25/lb) free shipping, same seller
https://www.amazon.com/Lanolin-Grad...5&sr=8-2-fkmr0&keywords=anhydrous+lanolin+1lb

Did not see the container I recall buying previously.

Did some more searching and found it for $10.75/lb, shipping unknown:

Other online DIY soap stores seem to have similar prices. Makes me think ... I recall seeing a DIY soap store here in the Phoenix area a couple days ago. One of them might be worth checking for an over-the-counter sale (no shipping charges!)
 
Thanks for the lanolin link.

Ordered some, received it, refined my method and got better results. I glopped the lanolin into a funnel, put the funnel over a jar, put the jar on a block of wood in a pan of boiling water. Once all the lanolin ran into the jar, I put a bottle in the boiling water, poured the lanonlin into the bottle using the funnel, then took the bottle out of the water and poured the ATF in and shook the bottle. Keeping the jar and the bottle warm allowed the lanolin and ATF to mix; from there, adding the relatively cool moneral spirits simply diluted the mixture.

Wasn't perfect - the cool neck of the bottle solidified some of the lanolin while shaking. Need to stir next time, I guess.
