Default tahini quest

So after deciding it was too pricey at Rainbow Blossom, I went to the
Kroger. Scanned the "ethnic aisle". (I didn't realized there was a
British section, and German section there till then.) Anyway, no luck. And
nothing in Health Food area that I could find.... So asked stocker, and he
said "aisle tin". So I went to aisle ten which was the ethnic section where
I had just been. The stocker happened by again and I said I was in this
aisle before and didn't find any. He smiled and said "you want me to do
everything" I thought that was a bit rude, but he did show me a couple
places with the long sought thin. As he showed me, he said "when people see
the price they usually walk away." (Not a great salesman, that one.) So I
looked at both and they were a bit high, 8.99 for Peloponnese and 6.47 for
Joyva. I opted for the cheaper since not sure either's rep. And they are
15 servings so that's not really that expensive per serving.

Got home and realized I forgot the garlic. Is fresh that much better than
roasted in a jar?

Also, when I open the tin can of tahini, about how long will it keep? Maybe
I can/should freeze 1/2?

Oh, another neophyte question. What's the difference between extra light,
light and pure olive oil? They all had the same nutrition label info, even
down to sodium amount. I assume the lighter tastes less olivey?
