    Online spice buying??

    Do any of you have a good online source that you use for spices? I'm stuck with the basics at my local supermarket, and between prices and limited selections I'm leaning toward a "one stop shop" online source. I have recently heard of Penzeys, but any other suggestions are welcomed. Thanks.

    Penzys is always good.

      I like Penn Herb. They have two stores in Philly and an extensive web site. When I need less than a pound, or something a little more exotic (like quinine bark for making tonic), I go there first. Prices are decent and their re-designed main store is AMAZING.

      When I want something in bulk (like hibiscus flowers) I go to Herbalcom.com. They're based in Indiana. They only sell in bulk (unless it's something really expensive) and their prices are very good. They have a flat rate shipping charge, so I try to make sure I have a large order when placing it.

          The Spice House.

          Just did an order: dried Anaheim chiles (could not find in the mexican markets by my house), maple sugar (thinking of using it in the next iteration of MMD), Aleppo pepper (will find a use), blue cheese powder (ditto... probably a steak rub), shallots (because they are kinda magic), sumac (went to Turkey a year or two ago, have seen the light here), California sweet paprika, spanish smoked hot paprika.

          The site is, to be honest, a wee bit overwhelming.

                Ditto on the Penzeys (probably all the spice houses do this but) they always send along a extra something like last time it was BBQ 3000 a BBQ rub came in real handy when friends show up and say hey can you cook this for tonight??

                  Is there a website that will customize a rub order for you? I know there were supplement companies that would do this.

                    Penzeys is amazing. After you taste their cinnamon you'll never go back.

                      Based on the recommendation of another pit member I tried out http://www.spicesinc.com/. Been very pleased with everything I've purchased so far. Happy enough to go back and buy 5 pound bags of garlic and onion powder each.

                          I could open up a small branch store with all the Penzey's l have in my stock. Agree with Meathead, plus they have stores all over the country.

                            Crisper drawers in my "beer fridge" are full of Penzey's spice packages! Free shipping on a $30 order if you don't have a store nearby.

                            HorseDoctor that's a brilliant solution. Now I know where I'm keeping my fresh herbs AND I know what to do with the "wasted space" in the beer fridge, which usually just holds beer and meat I'm gonna cook.

                            1/4 of my shop fridge is filled up with sausage, jerky and BBQ rub spices

                          Don't forget Amazon. Also, these folks have some neat stuff - http://www.savoryspiceshop.com/
