I am looking for a new spice dealer. I had pretty good one but I quit using them after the owner went off the deep end when Trump was elected. I suspect he lost a fair amount of business. Anyway, my supply slowly dwindled down to the point of using the grocery store only which works , but is not the same. Thanks I’m advance.

Not your go to you find on here.....and not the cheapest....but check these folks out. I love their quality.... and you can purchase in small quantities. https://www.spiceandtea.com/
This page gets you to their blends and rubs. The butchers rub and the espresso steak are two of my favorites.

I go with Colonel De (link). Lucky for me, he has a shop at Findlay Market, 10 mins from the house, but I have been known to order online anyway, when I have a big order (and I'm lazy).Cincinnati, OH

I use SFherb.com Quality is good and prices are REALLY low. Shipping is not comped however. Since I supply spice blends to friends and family, buying in quantity is a major money saver. I place a roughly $100 order every 2 years and keep all the spices vac-sealed in the freezer until ready to use.
Minimum shipping via UPS is about $16, if I recall. I start a cart and just keep adding until the shipping cost goes up and quit there.

Was in the same predicament and switched to the spicehouse and have been very happy with them. They welcome everyone and at the time of the election result was offering discounts with the coupon code 'nopolitics'.

Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

Thanks. That’s awesome to know. Just knowing they are family competition for that nutjob makes me want to try them.Lvnthedrm said:Was in the same predicament and switched to the spicehouse and have been very happy with them.

I disagree. Doesn't matter what position you hold.....you should be able to speak your mind (tactfully) and not have it blowback on your job or business. It's a different story when you're out representing your company, and saying your company is taking a stance on certain issue, candidate, whatever--especially if it's publicly held company. Unless it's a company/sales related issue (i.e. gun company supporting a pro-gun legislation or pro-gun candidate), then you should probably keep your mouth shut.
At the same time, all these online petitions and boycotts are really getting annoying. First off, this is the laziest form of "protesting" ever invented. Clicking a "like" button or joining a boycott when you weren't a customer in the first place, is NOT the same as holding up a sign board chanting. But to go after businesses where everyday people work, just because their owner is a certain religion, political party, etc, is really counter-productive to NOT being a hater. That goes the other way too.....
Bill Jr. (and other companies where major stakeholders have lashed out at their base) really put their front line employees in harms way. Sure he may be able to take the financial hit if the plan backfires, but what about the stores that close or the employees that lose profit sharing / commissions. Their store in the wealthy part of STL was a ghost town after his tirade was on TV and radio news stations (70%+ of that area voted Trump.) I don't see many Penzey stores in the hood--they're usually in affluent areas. Do the math for how many new customers (not fans) you have to gain in order to replace wealthy Republicans. And in a privately held company you can lie all you want about your "booming" profits to save face if you need to.......but time will tell.

@stlcharcoal, yes I unsubscribed and and also received that 2nd email from him. That was the nail in the coffin for me. What a tool. I couldn't agree any more with what you said.

Got some really good smoked peppercorns and a few other spices from Sullivan Street Tea and Spice in Greenwich Village (Sullivan Street), NYC.
We have an Amish market close by that is open only Thurs-Sat (limited hours) where we get the bulk of our spices. Good prices, Fresh product. -
I have a Penzey's in town. The folks who work there are super nice. I stop in about once a week to grab whatever free thing they are giving away.A bison’s level of aggressiveness, both physical and passive, is legendary. - NPS

Penzey's has great stuff. My DIL loves their stuff and has gifted us some amazing vanilla bean paste that we really love. A bit more pricey that other places, but good quality.

I've been very happy with Penzey's spices. Not so much their blends, although I have a few favorites.
Will check out the Spice House as well.
