I usually go with Costco. No matter where you shop, unless you buy a huge bulk amount (which will likely go bad before you can use it all unless you split with friends or cook a TON), spices are not cheap. And even the cheap ones generally aren't good. After you compare what you can make to what you'd pay at bigpoppasmokers.com or somewhere else it works out to be pretty cheap. Smart & Final may be another one you'd want to check out. Or restaurant Depot if you are a KCBS member

Penzeys for sure. They have stores local here, but I think free shipping kicks in around $35.

I buy 6 containers of the same spice (buck each at a local discount store) every time to make my rub. Rub you would use for pork butt, ribs, and works great, very consistent, and for 6 bucks I get 6 containers of it. Dump the 6 into a Ziploc, shake shake shake, refill the bottles. Been doing it for years. My preference is 1 container of each garlic powder, onion powder (not salt), Cajun seasoning, cumin, chili, mustard. That's it, mix, reload the spice containers and away you go. OF course you can add sugar to your rubs to taste.

Spices do go bad, so I now buy in the smallest container I can find - unless it's something I use a ton of. I used to use Penzey's, but they sent out a very political email, (which they have every right to do), and whether or not I agreed with it, I don't want political messages from someone I buy from. So I no longer buy from them and just buy locally unless it's something unusual. That hasn't happened recently.

It helps a if you buy whole spices keep them in the freezer and break out the mortar and pestle as needed.

Totally agree RonB!

Anyone ever heard of Regal seasoning? Webstuarantstore.com sells it. I just worry about prices of seasonings when they are low. I can get get 24oz of black pepper for under $11. Just not sure about the quality of it.

My wife and I always used Penzeys until recently.
We found a local spice company that pretty much blows Penzy's away.
Their buttermilk ranch salad dressing is just totally unbelievable.
Their taco seasoning is addictive.
The rest of their spices are reasonable, and REALLY fresh and they do ship.

Penzey's and ethnic markets. Also, a local co-op carries a lot of bulk stuff which is nice for those things you rarely use--not to mention a great assortment of grains and flours.

Even though our town only has a population of 3500, we have a local food coop that is well stocked and worth supporting IMO.

I usually buy mine at Costco. Especially the onion/garlic powders in which i use a ton of.

[Brewmaster]

Have been using planters for years now and am very satisfied, if you are part of a BBQ team they offer discounts on bulk spices

[FireMan]

The Spice House in "Old Third Ward" Mil. Wi. They have every spice you could want. Check the there web site. Not just for BBQ, but for everything.

Costco for the big players in BBQ. Onion powder, garlic powder, paprika etc.

Hippie grocery stores for the small spices that I can buy in bulk.

[DWCowles]

I buy from Penzey's and don't give a damn about their political emails. That's what the delete button is for.
