I only discovered Penzey's last fall (from my friends here on the Kitchen & Food boards, thank you). I will definitely check out The Spice House next time I am in Chicagoland, most likely this summer. Thanks for the tip!!

RespectLife, I've gotta tell ya that when I initially read this post over the weekend, I had NO idea what all the "HOTSOUP" was about. Haha! And I'd honestly never heard of the Spice House before, so thanks for that.

Unfortunately, once I did figure it out your intention, I was disappointed because the Spice House didn't have what I needed, while Penzey's did. Bummer!

Awww...I'm sorry Sabatini! I read that they poof your thread if you give discount codes for other places...so I was trying to be 'clever'. LOL Didn't work!

I read about The Spice House here a bit back but the shipping stopped my order.

I ordered last Friday (2/7) and it was delivered yesterday (2/10)! How's that for fast AND free shipping!

Golden says they email the promos more often than I thought. Good thing! I forgot a couple things I needed!

I actually prefer the Spice House as well. I found many more BBQ and Smoker rubs on their site. They also had Espresso powder and Chilies in adobo Sauce that I have looked EVERYWHERE for and couldn't find.

Only problem was...I had an order for about $15 and the shipping was $12.75!! crazy!! So I greatly appreciated their HOTSOUP free shipping special. Their CS said they only do it a couple times/year and added me to the email list. Penzey's free after $35 is a bit more manageable for me. I wish The Spice House had something daily as well.

RespectLife,

I had to laugh at you mentioning Chilies in Adobo sauce as I've been looking everywhere for a can/bottle, and mentioned it to my Mom who also had been looking for it. I'm sure The Spice House's is way better, but if you're in a jam, my Mom found a can at Walmart. Now I need to order it from The Spice House!

I know The Spice House does a deal on boxes close to Christmas, or at least did the last two years. I did that last year and picked out a box for myself, then a few others. My first ever order was rubs and spices for my brother to use either with BBQing or his smoker and I could smell them as soon as I opened the outer box without the smaller boxes open, yum!
