Try the bulk spices at WF. I adore the quality and if you only need a little bit for a new recipe, it is a great way to try them. Sometimes that little bit is too small to register and then it is free. Use the plastic bags for small amounts because the containers register when empty.
I buy items that other stores don't carry, like Izzy soda fr Jess and tabouli because the only tabouli here is in bags that are way overpriced. But that is all due to their prices. But on Fri they have chair massages for $1 per minute!
