YSK if you enjoy cooking with lots of spices, local Asian/Indian/foreign grocery stores tend to have spices at much lower prices and at greater quantities than traditional grocers that only sell things like McCormick
Why YSK: For $6 I got a large bottle of sesame seeds. The tiny bottle of McCormick is almost $4. The quantity difference might be over 50x the seeds for an extra 2 dollars. They also support local people better than your regional chain.
I used an entire bottle of cumin and other Indian spices for 1 recipe of butter chicken totalling $10-$15 in spices. The Indian store near me sold near gallon sized bags of it for less than $10.
If you like to cook, buy from them and then transfer extras into old glass jars for safe keeping since they don't usually come in resealable bags. It's a great way to save some money and try new fun products.
Edit: by "foreign" I mean anything non chain related in any US city. I'd assume it's the same internationally but cannot confirm.
Edit 2: many people are referencing the "cutting" of spices at stores like that to make them cheaper, I don't know enough about it to give thoughts. There's tests for it out there, Google it for your own knowledge and safety.

My wife has asked for a set of Indian spices for Christmas. Can someone recommend a good place to order from? She’s a fantastic cook and we both love Indian food, so I’d like to buy something that is high quality. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! TIA

Indians/Mexicans/Other cultures that cook with a lot of cumin/spices: how do you prevent/minimize the smell from sticking to your kitchen?
My apartment's smelled like toasted cumin and onion for days now. It's getting a bit old

Just bought some Star of Anise from a local Indian grocery store, so pretty! My mom said its good for love and money. Anyone know any spells with this spice? What are you experiences using Star of Anise?

Is frying spices beneficial in other cuisines besides Indian?
While making stuffing today, I decided to add some thyme, sage, and rosemary to the oil I was heating up to saute the celery, leeks, and mushrooms.
It might be a placebo effect, but frying the spices seemed to intensify their flavor. This was honestly one of the better stuffings I have made.
I'm curious if this technique is used in the recipes of other cuisines?

How many types of red chili powders (not spice mixes) do you have and how/where do you use them for Indian recipes?
I currently only have a super spicy Indian red chili powder that I use very sparingly. In my local Indian store, I see chili powder labeled super spicy, and reshampatti. I did not find Kashmiri which is supposed to be milder version. I wonder how each of these is used in cooking. Do you just adjust the amount based on the spice level or do some recipes specifically call for one type versus the other?
What are staple herbs and spices in Indian cuisine?
EDIT: THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU LOVELY REDDITORS FOR SHARING! I REALLY APPRECIATE IT!

What's the best mortal/pestle set to get for quick mashing of ginger/garlic/chili etc. or rough grinding of spices. Mainly for Asian/Indian/Mexican cooking. Thanks.

Does anyone know where I can buy a classic indian spice tin in Toronto?
I'm referring to the round stainless steel ones with a lid, that have roughly 7 smaller bowls in them for storing different spices - I grew up with these and find them very useful but not sure where to buy them here. Something like this: https://i.pinimg.com/736x/7d/f6/5d/7df65df84da23c67fda50508c915b679--spice-tins-tin-boxes.jpg
I live near to Parkdale/Roncey, and would prefer to buy it from a store than online - happy to bike within 30mins from here or so, but can't really get much further than that.
If anyone has any leads on a store within Toronto that I can pick one up in store after looking at it to check it's what I need, I would appreciate this a lot!
Found this in my Indian food - some kind of spice? Smells great!
