[CnD] buying spices
When I moved into my first apartment, an elderly friend gave me all her spices and a few other things! (She was moving into an assisted living place where they served meals.) I agree with the Health Food Store buying in bulk suggestion. I often buy larger quantities from the bulk bins to fill up my spice containers. Thanks for the tip about Trader Jo's spices being cheaper, will have to check into that!

Re: [CnD] Buying Spices?
I just went to the website and I don't see anything about the size of the jar or bottle. Also, most of the spices are blends, not just plain cinnamon or nutmeg, though some of the blends sound very appealing and I love the names.

Re: [CnD] Buying Spices?
Jean, my apologies, the size of the jars is 110 ml, and I believe that converts to 6 ounces rather than 8. Math was never my strong suit. I know 2 + 2 = 7, and that's as far as I can go. Sheepish grin. Here is what she says about the Jars: All spice blends are packaged in sturdy 110ml glass jars. Jane also says if you don't see what you are looking for in her A to Z listing, please e-mail her and let her know what you are looking for. I love some of the names of her blends, also. Some make me laugh. ennifer On 9/22/12, Jean Marcley jmarc...@juno.com wrote: I just went to the website and I don't see anything about the size of the jar or bottle.

Re: [CnD] Buying Spices?
Claudia, I agree with you on the spices complaint. I think it's ridiculous they cost so much, however, if you don’t use them every day, they'll last you a good long while. I've done baking for my family and friends for Christmas for the last couple of years. I finally ran out of ginger this year and had to buy more. That was because I made several batches of gingersnaps. That ginger previously, had lasted me about three years.
