Last year I discovered that Dollar General carries McCormick's cinnamon, chili powder, and garlic powder for $2 or so cheaper than the grocery store, so that's where I've been getting those--with expiration dates the same as those at Wegmans, so there goes that big lie.</P> <P>Do any of you grow and snip your own?</P> <P><IMG src="https://community.qvc.com/DesktopModules/ExactTarget/Controls/TextEditor/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/001_smile.gif" alt="Smile" /></P> <P> </P> Thu, 26 Jul 2012 18:54:40 GMT Moonlady 2012-07-26T18:54:40Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/The-Prices-Of-Spices/m-p/230847#M102007 <P>Dried-spices are sky high in price, in the $6-$7 range for a dang 2-oz bottle of curry and turmeric.
