When you identify the right product, it may turn out cheap compared with the value of what it is used to preserve.
Why ruin good leather over a few bucks? Lexol is pretty much the gold standard for maintaining leather and it really isn't expensive. A 1l bottle is ~ $11
The common one is Neatsfoot oil, but go with Lexol. It's not that expensive and it leaves the leather in better condition - it's not just oil.

Only if you're going to fry it.
Lexol expensive? Where are you looking?
Petroleum jelly works wonderfully, applies nicely, and never goes rancid. I've used it for years and have been very pleased. I sometimes use a little heat from a hair drier or barely warm oven to make application and excess removal easier.
