The Bulk Spice Refill: Escaping the Little Glass Jar Tax
on
Published in Personal Finance
Step down the baking aisle of any supermarket and look closely at the price per ounce on those tiny glass spice jars.
You are often paying an astronomical markup just for the little glass bottle, the plastic shaker lid, and the foil seal.
Once you run out of cumin or garlic powder, replacing the entire jar over and over quietly drains your wallet.
The budget-friendly alternative is heading to the bulk section of your local co-op or natural foods store.
Bring your own small containers or paper bags, fill them directly from the bulk bins, and pay only for the weight of the spice itself.
You’ll save up to eighty percent on refills and keep your spice rack fully stocked without the packaging waste.
