I shop for spices at Penzey's in St Louis - if I'm across the river for other reasons - or Fresh Time on IL if I need an Herb/Spice sooner than our next trip to STL

Fresh Time is basically 80% of Whole Foods selection for 90% of the price, but the quality is good so whatcha gonna do?

But I just buy a big jar of McCormick Chili powder when I make chili no need to get fancy about everything
