I wandered into the local health food store and discovered that they sold bulk spices. The prices seemed to be around $.60/oz for most everything. Is this common? How long has it been going on? Have I really been paying $3-7 for a small glass or plastic jar? I'm happy I found them, even if I had been getting ripped off. They have some stuff I'd bever even heard of in there. NutCaseBob
