I get Madagasgar pods from a local farmer's market. He used to sell them @ $2.50. Now they've doubled to $5.00, which is still way less than the grocery. The price is reflected on growing conditions.
I just use the Jim Beam bottle. I have to drain out an ounce first, (which could easily go into a cake by itself!)

I bought a large bottle of vanilla extract when the price started going up, and I don't bake or use much so it ought to last awhile.
@Kachina624 .... Hi .... thanks for the post ... do you know the shelf life of vanilla extract? .... I want to stock up on some before the holidays arrive 😊
If it's "pure" vanilla extract, eveywhere online says it'll keep indefinitely as long as it's stored in a cool dark place. If exposed to heat and light it may just lose some potency and get cloudy.

I used 6 vanilla beans instead of 3. 😊 ❤ 😊

I've been interested in making my own. Anyone ever done that?

I'm glad I read this post. I've been meaning to go to Amazon and buy an extra bottle of Madagascar vanilla. You just reminded me to do so.

A couple of years ago Penzey's put out a notice that vanilla was going to sky rocket and you should stock up.
I did and I'm glad.
