| - If you pride yourself on using high quality ingredients in your cooking, you gave to get yourself over to Penzey's. On average, some of their spices are more expensive than say a standard brand like McCormick, but they way I see it, their spices are so strong and fresh, they will last much longer than the stale plastic containers you get on the grocery shelves. Also some spices that are harder to find like whole cardamom, zataar, Spanish saffron are actually cheaper than if you were to buy them online. I also like that they sell small, medium and large sizes of most of their spices, that way if you don't have to be stuck with a huge container of fajita season knowing you won't be able to use it all.
I can't neglect to mention how awesome their gift box section is; if you know someone who loves to bake or grill, they have customized gift boxes with medleys of spices. I think they make a very personal gift for that someone in your life you know would appreciate good quality spices.
You can also request their catalog which has coupons and recipes. I don't think a place like Penzey's is for everyone, but particularly if you like to cook or know someone who does, Penzey's is definitely worth a visit.
