Great store all around, appreciate the weekly specials including apples on sale each week. We get a different type of apple most weeks, whatever is on sale works for us. Mushrooms are also pretty reasonable. The rest, we tend to buy what's in season which is great in our budget. I can't say I paid much attention to the loose bulk spices until today. Wow !! If you read the little pricing labels, the bulk spices are a bargain compared to the bottled variety. After doing some online research on holistic cold and cough remedies, I decided to seek out ground ginger and cinnamon but didn't want to spend $4-$5 a jar for an ounce or so of spices. While this ground stuff is not hermetically sealed, if others pour it out into the provided ziploc bags like I did, theoretically it's relatively "clean". I poured less than an ounce of each and paid about a quarter for each. A QUARTER !!!! I may never go back to buying spices by the jar. Instant ginger tea for pennies !! We have plenty of cute spice jars that can be refilled. Sprouts is my new go-to store for dried spices.
