.....or try health food stores if your grocery store don't. We have
about 4 h/f stores and they all carry bulk spices. I rarely pay more
than $1/oz. Usually much less, unless a really exotic processed spice
like shelled blk cardamom seeds. Also, get whole spices and grind
yerself. A cheapo coffee grinder fer about $15 will work perfectly.

Here's a site I've found fer spice tins/jars etc:

Ya gotta buy in bulk, but the unit price is by far the cheapest I've
found, anywhere. Go in with a friend.
