Ethnic stores are a great buy and hands down Sam's Club wins in my area. I cook lots from scratch so I use alot of spices. They have the lowest per oz price I can find. You do have to buy a large container, but they last. Plus their secletion of spices is 4 times that of costco. I've never had spices 'go bad'. Also I grow some herbs that I use often. Oregeno, rosemary, thyme, chives, and a few others. I've really enjoyed that and have found I really like fresh rosemary bread! They are simple plants to maintain and they live forever as long as they have sunshine and water.
