Hello, penny pincher poster here, and I'm excited to share super cheap prices on spices that retail for 1/4 of the regular prices. That's 75% off normal store prices and even retail giant Walmart and Amazon! Some of the spices are on par with other stores but there are sine that I can never get without paying an arm and a leg. The store is Big Lots and the spices are celery salt, turmeric, (how DO you pronounce it??) star anise and ginger.
If you do a lot of world cooking, like me, you need a comprehensive spice collection. Prices on spices are one of the biggest variables in cooking ingredients. I cook many Indian and middle eastern dishes which require cumin, Indian cooking notably features ginger and turmeric as well. I've checked bulk prices at Amazon, the dollar spice section at Dollar Tree and Walmart. Dollar Tree doesn't carry celery salt and Walmart only has super-expensive name brand.
So I was delighted to find all three in the bigger containers at Big Lots for $1. The celery salt is an especially good #BigLotsfind deal. I stock up because we literally use celery salt in almost everything. Oh and if you're wondering why it tastes familiar, celery salt plus powdered garlic are the flavors of the classic Spice Islands Beau Monde seasoning. Sometimes it's made with celery seed also. So buying celery salt at #BigLotsFinds gets you the coveted taste of Beau Monde too! Buy One Get One Free, yay!
