If you have a really good chain supermarket, try the store brand- I've found the one in my store to be excellent. It's not necessary to use a really good oil for frying or cooking, save those for your salads or to dip bread into.
I have experimented a lot. I always cook with olive oil and have found the same problem between taste and price. So far the best I have found is Carapelli. The thing is, I always use Extra Virgin. Any other pressings I can't speak for.
