bulk spices

Bulk spices seem to be the way to go. I'm pricing them on Amazon, but I suppose there would be someplace local I could go to buy them.

curry - $0.40/oz

chili powder - in a 5 pound container - $0.21/oz

cumin - 2 x 16 oz bags - $0.61/oz

I'll probably come back and update this list later.

Here's a table converting ounces of various spices to different cooking measures:

An ounce of chili powder yields 12.75 teaspoons, for example. These are bigger ratios than I expected.
