YEP! Sesame seeds are another rip-off if you're not attentive. A
shittly little jar is about 5 bucks at the big stores. I get the
restaurant sized bottle at a more "ethnic" type place for 3 bucks. I
use taco seasoning to simmer chicken for mexican pizzas. Same huge
sized jar for a few bucks at the mexican store. But the same store
also sells the individual packets for close to a buck. LOL Must be at
least a 90% savings.
