I buy some of my most used herbs and spices in bulk at the local health food store. WAY cheaper than buying little bottles in store.
However, I am wondering how you all handle these bulk purchases. I have some "normal spice sized jars" that I fill and store the excess herbs/ spices in the freezer.
However, it's a real drag to be constantly refilling those little jars. But I don't really have anything else to put them in at this time. Sure some of the stuff I don't use as fast like mustard and ginger, but my garlic and onion powder, the dill and thyme get "re-filled" almost every 10 days or so.
I live in a rental house and it's an awful layout, last updated about 1940, so far from ideal. I basically have a simple shelf over the sink that houses the spice jars.
So for those of you that buy in bulk, how is it that you are managing the re-fill process and storage?
I mean all in all, it's not that hard to re-fill every 2 weeks, but at the same time it seems like there should be a better solution. Do you have "larger" spice jars? Any idea where I could find something like this?
Any other ideas or solutions that work for you?
