Saltopia

I purchased the previous version of saltopia. I loved them but now they have cheapened the packaging and changed the precious wooden spoons to cheap plastic ones. The cheap plastic lid also makes it look like some cheap grocery store average seasoned salt. I won't purchase them again. Previously they looked like a boutique gift but they now look cheap!

@a10ecgirl Amazon sells the spoons, a lot in one little bag, inexpensive, I bought some.

I noticed that right off. I had purchased the Saltopia sugar set and loved the small wooden spoons. I have a larger one from a website that sells spices. I'm planning on re-using the jars for more spices when the sugar is gone. I wouldn't do that with these plastic capped jars. Maybe in selling more prioduct, they had to go cheaper with the packaging.

ITA. Bought these in the past, so I glanced up when they came on today, saw the plastic lid, and flipped the channel. Maybe they should just use a baggie.

Here in my town of Woodinville, WA, there is a company called Saltworks and they have wonderful salts that I can buy, from the bulk section, in my Haggens store. So many exotic ones as well as with herbs and even truffle salt, which is to die for!! It is $50 a lb but buying a small amount to try is mere pennies. So nice not to have to pay beaucoup bucks for a huge amount when I like to try small amounts first. Think they sell on their website.

I am waiting on the butters. I enjoy the sugars.

I love the salt from Saltworks. I bought Himalayan Pink Salt from their website and found it to be the best I ever had.

I wasn't aware you could buy it in bulk. I wonder if they carry it at Whole Foods in the Seattle or Bellevue area?

@J Town Girl--did you go to their website? I haven't in a long time myself. but if Haggens is around you, you might check. I ordered a set to send to my BF in AZ as a thank you gift--she loved it too.

@wagirl I know this is off the topic of Salt Works but I just had to say how lucky you are to live in Woodinville. It's such a beautiful area and your downtown shopping area is so lovely.

My husband and I love to shop at Molbaks. I think I could spend hours there. I think no matter what gardening question I've ever asked someone always has an answer for me.

I know this area has it's problems but I still enjoy liviing in WA.

@J Town Girl---I agree with you! I have lived here for 33 years and the changes from a little one road town to what it is now, is amazing. I go to Molbaks all the time and especially during the grey, wet days of winter for a little pick me up. Get alot of plants there as well as advice. it's a nice place to live. Wine country is insane however, on the weekends, so I stay away from that area. Lots of brewery too and Chateau St Michelle is the best for out door concerts !!
