What substitute oil can I use to save me the cost of buying an

Here is the real trick,

Buy a sub at your local sub shop and tell them extra olive oil.
(Ham and Cheese and all your fave other toppings.)
but with extra olive oil.

The sub shop usually uses a slightly waxed paper and the oil actually
soaks into it a bit.
Before you shread anything that day, eat the sub and get rid
of all the food and any "massive drippings of the oil".
Then shred the paper sub wrapping, and start
shredding your other stuff.

I never used any other oil ever and usually only got an extra
olive oil sub every third day or so.
The wax and oil will keep those blades like day one for many
shreds.
