All those McCormick and Schilling spices in the little bottles are
abnormally expensive for what you get. You can get them for 1/10th
the price at a store that sells bulk spices.

Or you can buy the reasonably priced brands. The ones that aren't out
to rip off people who don't mind not having matching bottles of
spices.
