CHEAPER, HEALTHIER aaaaaand BETTER!
EGGS are one of thee most amazing ingredients [i think]. Their characteristics are just amazing! Yolk thickens [mayonnaise] , egg whites make things light and fluffy [mousse], together they keep a cake recipe together, they are healthy, beaten with a little water make an egg wash, giving pastries, scones a lovely sheen and browny colour.
There is just so much one can make with EGGS! You may look at the oil and think...'how is this healthier?' Well no preservatives and you know exactly what you are putting into it. Besides...you're not going to eat the lot on your own...right??
For this recipe, you just need a whisk, a bowl and the ingredients. A towel under the bowl will help it stay in the one place, as you will be whisking the whole time. I would keep this for the week, then make a new batch for the new week. Here is an awesome recipe that you can use and spruce up with a little something else.

MAYONNAISE RECIPE
2 egg yolks, at room temperature
1 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
250ml oil, at room temperature
2 tbsp white vinegar or lemon juice
METHOD
Stand a mixing bowl on a tea-towel on the work surface. Put the egg yolks, Dijon mustard (optional) a little salt and pepper in the bowl and mix with a whisk.
Slowly add the oil in a think trickle to begin with, whisking continuously.
As the Mayonnaise begins to thicken, add the oil in a steady stream, still whisking all the time. When the oil is completely incorporated, whisk more rapidly for 30 seconds, until the mayonnaise is thick and glossy.
Add the vinegar or lemon, taste and adjust the salt and pepper.
