I thought I asked this question before, a year or two ago, but I cannot find it. Maybe I just thought about asking?

Where do you buy bulk spices online?

While I very much enjoy Penzey's statement about Republicans, their prices seem extravagant to me. I'm looking for cheaper solutions. I checked Costco, but they don't have much for spices. I spent a lot of time roaming different websites, and I found what I thought was a very good choice, until I reached the point to register on the website and realized that they intend only to commerce with actual businesses, not individuals. I don't know why my legal status makes any difference for shipping a product, but apparently it matters to them.

So... where do you buy bulk spices? I'm stocking up on lots of things, including powdered/dried foods and canned cat foods. More on that topic later.

1. Frontier Organics is a well-run cooperative, and their prices should be more reasonable than Penzey's.

My grocery co-op in Albany gets many of its bulk spices from Frontier.

2. For cricket supplies (wheat germ, wheat bran, powdered milk, nutritional yeast), I shop at bulkfoods.com and their prices have also generally seemed reasonable, for a quality product.

For your sake I wish you were closer to one of the grocery co-ops in MSP...Grocery co-ops will typically let members order bulk items even if they aren't regularly carried in the store, and then it's possible to avoid shipping charges altogether.

3. Certain bulk spices can be far, far cheaper at ethnic groceries than conventional. But again, that doesn't necessarily help you much at present, sigh.

This place is based in Denver? But they have a location near me in Chi.

I know nothing about quality, pricing, why am I even commenting? Oh no oh no oh no.
