Spices?

[Buchanan0204]

Where does everyone buy their whole spices from? I'd like to buy large quantities and those little jars the supermarket sell are far too expensive for what you get.

Does any of the supermarket sell larger bags with a good selection?

Failing that, any online retailers decent? I don't live anywhere near Asian supermarkets unfortunately.

I was in Tesco last night and had a look in the world foods, the selection was poor. Cumin and coriander was all they had. Still... A quid each for a 300g bag.

I'll check out those websites, cheers.

Go to literally any indian cash and carry, even the supermarkets which carry the big bags are stupidly overpriced.

I get all mine from a little indian grocery store, the spices and herbs are all of much better quality than schwartz for example, and they're around 1/10th of the price, often even less.
I mean these schwartz jars are flavourless in comparison, they're so bloody inferior it's a wonder anyone goes with them.

Not to mention other bargains to be had, for example I can pick up a kilo of king prawns which are better quality than in a supermarket for about £6.

These little stores are goldmines for really good quality produce at low prices.

I'll try and find one. Cheers.
