    Y'all should stop using anything technological, because it's mostly owned and designed by libtards.  You won't starve, you've got Chik fil-a

    Well it is rated the number 1 fast food restaurant from multiple publications so maybe there's a reason. I wonder if they use Penzeys spices to season the chicken. That would be Ironic....
    Number 1 in something I can't figure out.  They're not the biggest, most profitable, best food  (think In-N-Out-burger, 5 guys, etc).....  Probably the number 1 destination for "deplorables".  Yep, that's gotta be it.  No offense to the MAGA crowd.

    No, its the number 1 for EVERYONE. So even those pesky "libtards" love them some "hate" chicken even though they will never admit it. But back to Spices. If I'm buying Bulk I go to Costco. I generally never buy bulk of any spices except Salt and Peppercorns.
    Since masturbation is a sin and jesus is always watching your bedroom, I can see the adversity to palm hair and, well, everyone needs a fast food champion for distraction since cranking one off is a quick trip to hell, so why not a chain that gives money to SPLC listed hate groups?  All the power to you and everyone. Win win.

    Question, where do you get your bulk spices from?

    We have a place called "International Market" that sells in bulk.  Hong Kong market is also excellent if you shop in the nola area.

    There are a few things I order online that I just can't find (at least a good deal on them) locally.  Like I bought an ounce of saffron.  That would have cost me $300 locally.  I paid $80.  Also, good boutique chili powders.  SWMBO has ordered from Pensky's a number of times, their stuff is good, no complaints, but that said, mostly local.

    No but you can surely make your own “cummin” seeds with the help of one of his pillows.

    I buy Penzey's at the retail outlets so I don't have to deal with the politics of Bill the idiot. I used to be on their mailing list but I sent him a reply to one of his rants and told him to F.O. He doesn't bother sending me anything any more.

    His sister has a company called The Spice House (https://www.thespicehouse.com/) that's pretty good. Her politics are different than his, but more importantly, she keeps them to herself. She's not interested in alienating portions of her customer base.
    that some good info, it has been a year or so since i have been to penzy's we dont have one local to us here but i will check this one out.  thank you.

    San Francisco Herb Co.   (sfherb.com) has  been my go to for a long time.  Much less expensive than the others mentioned here and a solid provider.

    Also, freezing spices bought in bulk works for me.

    Do buy some spices at Costco but many of the blends have far too much salt.  Tried their BBQ spice once and ended up throwing it out.  I know, I could have returned it, but I don't like returning products which are not faulty.  I realize most people like more salt than I do.

    Salt is not a spice.  It's a rock.  A pure compound.  It doesn't matter how old it is.  You can grind it, but that would be only for textural purposes (for last-minute sprinkling).  
    You can grind it at any time, up to 2,000 years prior, with no loss in flavor (before that, sinners were cast in it, so that may leave a slight aftertaste; not sure)

    i am staying in a Residence Inn by Marriott for the weekend. Am I wrong to empty the 5-6 little salt and pepper packets, into the empty salt and pepper shakers? I look to you for wisdom in this matter.

    @FanOfFanboys , you didn't say where you live which would help in answering your question.  I live in Lancaster, PA, which is an Amish area and there are lots of bulk food stores here in and in other Amish areas in Ohio and Indiana.  Buying spices and many other cooking ingredients is very easy around here. Prices are very good and the volume sold keeps things fresh.
