Spicing up your life

I saw a comment on a post at Joe Sangl's blog by Tina.  In this comments she talks about getting a cheaper price on spices by purchasing the spices from the international section of the grocery store.  So while I was down at my local grocer shopping for food I checked it out.  As I went down the international foods isle I noticed that the spices in the Mexican/Latino food section were all $1.39 (the labels were all in spanish and english).  When I found the spice rack on the baking I made sure that I was looking at the exact same spices and was amazed at the difference in price.  The least expensive one I could find, that had a spanish language equivalent, was 1.98 and that one spice was the odd ball.  Most of them were upwards of three dollars and some were over five.  Even the ones that were on special were twice as much as the spanish language spices.  The great news is these are not off the wall spices but spices my wife and I use all the time (garlic powder, paprika, cloves, etc.).  From now on I will be spicing up my life in spanish.  Thanks Tina!
