The grocery store hummus I buy is in the refrigerated section, brands
like Sabra and Trader Joe's. I was talking about tahini, doesn't it
come in jars on just on the shelves? I've only used fresh, that I
scoop out and buy by the ounce from the refrigerated case at a co-op.
Not being snobby, it's just that I don't use it very much. Waste not,
want not. I'm not opening a whole can or jar when I just want a
little and wasting the rest.

Don't forget garlic.
