I go to my local health food store, where they sell them in bulk for
$19 a pound,which breaks down to a little over a dollar an ounce. I
fill al my spice jars there - I reuse my old McCormick jars and the
like - and average less than a dollar per fill, sometimes as low as 14
cents to fill a spcie jar that was $5 at the grocery.

Most of the spices they sell at the drugstres are crap, but I do buy
seseam seeds, poppy seeds, and granulated garlic shakers for 50 cents
apiece there too.
