If I buy more of a spice than I will use before it goes bad, I give some away to friends. By sharing things we buy in buk, we all save money.

I buy some of my faves in bulk too. Especially peppercorns in a variety of colors. Mmmm!

I have also found that my local ethnic grocery stores run their bulk spices at much cheaper prices then grocery stores. They also offer a larger selection of whole not ground and that same low price.

If you don’t cook with spices often enough that they stay fresh, does it pay to try to get them at the dollar store? I’ve never tried them, but I’ve seen them there and at CVS. They seem inexpensive, but I don’t know about the quality.

Since spices loose their flavor in two weeks time, I buy small quantities in the bulk section from stores like Winco or Fred Meyer nutrition. Definitely saves significantly over buying the small jars. You really don’t know how old those spices are either.
