A website worth noting

[luvnit]

I go to this site about once a year and stock up on different seasonings, sea salt, cereals, pastas, dried goods, etc. They have some great prices on bulk items. Even Halloween candy!

www.bulkfoods.com

Remember shipping is only $5 for orders of $75 or more. The last time I ordered, I wasn't thinking and only ordered $50 worth of stuff. Then paid nearly $20 in shipping since bulk salt and seasonings weigh a lot. I could've kicked myself.

I've heard of this website, Laura, but have never ordered anything from it....yet. (thanks a lot for posting this )

Has anyone ordered from them and know how their quality is? That's neat to have a place to get stuff like that in bulk.

[luvnit]

Only my 2 cents: I have ordered from there for 4 years. I mainly order seasonings which I have to buy in bulk to make my Grandma Behrendt's Seasoned Pepper and Grandma Behrendt's Seasoned Salt (my husband's grandmother's recipe). I can buy almost everything I need there and I find the seasonings to be very aromatic. I have been very pleased. I have also purchased dried fruits from them which have been very, very good. I have also purchased sea salt, TVP and some various beans, all of which were also good. One thing I purchased for the kids I was not happy with and ended up not using them was the cereal marshmellows. You know those chalky things in lucky charms. Well these were not 'chalky' they were more chewy. My kids didn't like them so there they sat in the pantry.

If you have ever purchased bulk foods in the store or local coop: seeds, nuts, flours, dried fruits, beans, spices, etc. That is the type of quality I would expect from this company.

Maybe someone else has ordered from them and can add their experience.

Anyone?... anyone?... Bueller.

Thanks Laura I want to make my own rubs and jar them as gifts so this is great news!

[luvnit]

You know I buy bottles (they have jars too) at a site called www.ebottles.com very good prices, at least for what I get. I can even safety seal them with a shrink wrap band. I give them as gifts and sell them for fundraising too.

Here is one that's not shrink wrapped, it doesn't photograph as nice. I had my labels made online too. Sorry this is not the greatest picture, I think I need to retake these, they seem a little cloudy.

Oh another one bookmarked. Thank you

looks really good, Laura. hmmmm, with all my open shelving and the remodel, it might make sense to look into some pretty or at least matching bottles.
