How often do you replace your spices and where do you buy them?

[deb5555]

Only replace when they are empty, buy them at sams club at a great price.

Buy fresh spices at Penzey's when spices in my cabinet smell like they have lost their aroma.

Not as often as I should.  I like Spice House (they have a website).  Free shipping in their flatpacks.

I order most spices from Penzy's and in my opinion it's worth it.  I go through most things before having to worry about it, but I have some that are several years old.  I always smell and taste the older ones beforehand.  I highly recommend Penzey's Ruth Ann's Muskego Ave Chicken and Fish Seasoning.  It's also great on pork, vegetables and salads.  It's a combination of salt, black pepper, garlic, lemon peel and onion.  I go through it so fast last time I ordered two bags!   Maybe it was just me but one ttime I ranout of onion powder so I bought some at the grocery store, nope!  I noticed the difference.  If you buy enough they offer free shipping.

If you put the bought date on the bottom, you can track them.

@Still Raining  As I take the spice jar off the grocery shelf to drop into my cart, I write that day's date on the label.  I've done this for years, and not just with spices.

Replace as needed; try to buy so I use them up pretty quickly (it depends on the product how long I think that is but I'm always checking and using).

Penzeys, for sure.  And if you like buttermilk ranch dressing, their blend is excellent. Savory and refreshing on a crispy greens salad - yummy with added meat or cheese or egg, too.

For seasonings that I use all the time, I get them at Sams.  For other ones that I rarely use,  when they run out I just get more atWal-mart.I
