I think it is a good time to stock up on those spices you use heavily ...

I often go to the Asian food store to buy spices in bulk. I'm sure we will see huge inflation on these items after Jan 21, if not before. I know TSF's last trade war resulted in super inflated prices at the Asian store.

1. Spices lose their flavor pretty quickly, so buying in bulk doesn't make sense

unless you use them a lot. If you don't need bulk quantities, buy spices at Penzey's, a great advocate for liberal causes. But it does make sense to buy now, as needed.

7. I've had some of my spices for years...

They may not be as strong as when they were new, but they get the job done.

2. I always buy my spices online from Penzey's .... a SERIOUSLY Democratic support company!!

And their spices are amazingly good

4. Most of my holiday gifts will come from there

It's been a few years since I've done this but it's time. Most people I buy for really don't need stuff but they have such good and fun seasonings that I think people will really like them and can be used up so as not to sit around too long.

5. Great idea!!

I'm always at a loss as to what would be a good gift.

8. I buy a lot from Penny's but some spices, like chili powder...

turmeric, cayenne, garlic powder, etc that we use a LOT of I have to buy in bulk because it would be too expensive for me to buy those from Penzey's.

3. A return to the Middle Ages black pepper

Because of tariffs of the kingdoms and princedoms the price for 1ounce of pepper was 1 ounce of gold.

6. If you live near a Savalot,

They sell garlic/herb seasoning, 1 dollar .
It's been my go to for years, a bit peppery, a bit of garlic.
It's also easier, than buying all the different bottles of spices.

9. My go to spice blend is the no-salt seasoning at Costco...

I swear, it's like my foundational spice for most of the stuff I cook, especially chili, Italian foods, and soups.

10. I used to,

Shop at Costco and Sam's, now that I'm alone, I feel it's cost prohibitive, pay the membership, it's bulk food. I would end up with a hard chunk of spices, in a plastic bottle. Lol
