I like to make my own dry rubs and would like to find a cheap source for bulk spices. Anyone have their favorite site or store? Thanks!

Hi cowgirlone, I recently found herbalcom.com. They have an amazing selection of herbs and spices, great prices and very reasonable shipping. I have ordered twice and have been pleased with quality and service. Also, try San Francisco Herbs at sfherbs.com, I think that is the correct address. Hope this is helpful.

Frontier Herbs is a co-op, they have a site. Don't know what it is off-hand but I get bulk herbs for as little a $4 # depending on the herb, Theyir fiesta chili powder is wonderful, they also have shampoos, conditioners and teh like

Costco stores have large jars of McCormick spices for about $3.95. Small jars cost that much in regular grocery stores.

In IL we have Whole Foods Market that has bulk herbs and spices (also flours, beans, rices etc) many of which are organically grown. I also buy my yeast for baking there as well. Much cheaper!
