NatureNook The switch to buying spices from the bulk section without packaging surprised me when the total came out higher than the pre-packed jars I replaced. I had assumed it would be cheaper overall but the numbers didn’t line up that way at first.
offgridoliver NatureNook, bulk bins get priced up at some places so the store still makes its cut. The packaging drop is the real gain here even if the sticker hurts.
NatureNook offgridoliver, checked the unit price signs and bulk was still more per ounce at my spot even without jars.
waterwisewill Stores do hike the bulk price sometimes to cover the extra handling. The packaging cut still counts as the bigger win long term even if the receipt stings at first.
