I've had good luck with http://www.spicebarn.com and want to try this place: http://www.spicesinc.com. More recently I discovered a local spice shop though. It's nice to stop in and chat with them even if their prices aren't quite as good as online places.

Just for the heck of it I ran up to the local food service store and found the prices really good I'm thinking these may be lower quality. I decided to give it ago. Learning has a price. Right?2 PhotosLast edited by Jon Solberg; July 22, 2014, 03:39 PM.

I used to buy them through the Spice House, www.thespicehouse.com, but a couple of years ago we had a local spice shop open -- redstickspice.com -- and now I'm doing everything I can to keep them in business. I'd encourage all of you to help me by buying from them online!

Penzey's, I usually don't buy spices in bulk. Try to keep them no more than 4 months for freshness.

I hear ya there my friend. I need bulk to get thru 4 months : )

It's more work, but if you can buy your spices whole seed i.e. cumin, black pepper etc. the oils from those spices will last longer than if they are already ground. I use a coffee grinder for all my spices. The oils within the seed explode upon grinding and give you more umph for your dollar in my estimation.

* - Favorite Beer - the cold one in my hand (craft beers of all flavors; haven't had a blue yummy in over 6 years) my tastes change with the season so it is difficult to name just a couple. However, I will occasionally have a vanilla porter float in the summer (Empyrean Vanilla Porter w/a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream) as I usually drink stouts & porters in the colder months, pale ales & IPAs in the warmer months. I have to add Not Your Father's Root Beer to beers I use for floats.
* - Booze - I don't really have a favorite, but lean towards single malt Scotch & Irish whiskey
* - Wines - Reds: mainly the heavy stuff mixed in with the occasional pinot noir ( I have yet to meet a malbec I didn't like); Whites: German & Nebraska (hey, I have to support the home team)
* - Favorite Spice outlets - Volcanic Peppers - Bellevue, NE
* - Current butchers: Cure - Ft. Calhoun
My local spice supplier http://www.friscospices.com/default.aspx is also the local butcher supply shop. They have a good supply of many spices and they are very reasonably priced. Much more affordable than at the grocery store. For example, we use a lot of granulated garlic they sell it for $5.95/lb. Since I go into their store to shop, they don't hold me to the 0.50/lb. minimum. Give them a look.
