How much do you pay for your spices?
November 24th, 2006 Posted in Frugal Living, Healthy Eating, This n ThatHonestly….I can’t believe how much spices cost in the supermarket. Even non organic brands (which we avoid due to spices being irradiated). So unless its an emergency (and yes, I have been known to have “spice emergencies”…lol), I buy my spices from Mountain Rose Herbs.
Here are some examples of prices.
FLAVOR    SIZES: 4oz  8oz  1-lb
ORGANIC PARSLEYÂ 3.75Â Â Â Â 6.75Â Â Â Â 12.00
ORGANIC ONION POWDERÂ Â 2.75Â Â Â Â 4.00Â Â Â Â Â 7.00
ORGANIC SAGEÂ Â 3.25Â Â Â Â 5.25Â Â Â Â 9.00
ORGANIC CINNAMONÂ Â 2.50Â Â Â Â 3.50Â Â Â 5.00
Given that most spice jars range from 1/4 to 1/2 ounce and cost anywhere from $2 on up for that small amount. This is a fabulous deal, even with including the shipping.
Plus if you get some buddies to order with you, you start getting discounts at 5lbs.
