Do you know the per ounce price of the spices you use?
The per ounce cost of spices in those cute little containers can be really steep, especially compared to the deals you can get if you purchase the spices in bulk.
I purchase many types of dried herbs and spices in bulk bags, and have always been happy with the quality and convenience. Not convinced? Take a look at this price comparison.
This 16 oz. bag of organic pumpkin pie spice is currently priced at $13.59. That's just $.85 per ounce. Check out using the Subscribe and Save option to save 5-15%. With a 15% discount, the final price is $11.55, which is $.72 per ounce.
Compare that to this tiny container of spice currently priced at $4.44, or $3.96 per ounce.
Or to this container of organic pumpkin pie spice currently priced at $5.97, or $12.98 per ounce.
If you use pumpkin pie spice for pie, custard, or eggnog, consider buying in bulk for your holiday needs.
