Spin-off: best places to find reasonable priced bulk spices?

[Lil'John]

Rather than pull the seasoning 101 thread the wrong direction, here is a spin-off thread.

Title basically states it.

I am mostly interested in chili powder(s) or the like. But garlic powder, onion salt, etc might be of interest.

I go through a boat load of garlic and chili powder. I get the CostCo 3lb garlic containers and go through them quick. I haven't found a reasonable place for chili powder.

Wife goes to the Amish/Mennonite bulk food store once in awhile. gets stuff like oatmeal and other dry goods like that. Occasionally some spices. I don't know what exactly they carry since I don't go with her.

Try webstaurant.com

I use them to buy commercial quality restaurant kitchen gear and they sell spices. You will have to do your own price analysis but ~$17 for 5 lbs seems reasonable to me...

i second the amish grocery store. The 16 ounce tub of taco seasoning was $10. i also have an 8 ounce tub of onion powder. next time we stop by on the way to/from the MIL's, i'll look at some of the other spices

Smart and Final has commercial sized containers of seasonings for reasonable prices.

If you’re ever in downtown Sacramento area, swing into Cash & Carry on Richards Blvd. They have a ton of bulk spices, as well as lots of other good stuff.

Looks like Cash & Carry is now US Foods - Chef'store. Haven't been in since the change.
