Penzeys Spices

[itself]

Well, we just got a Penzeys store here in Scottsdale. What a delightful place. I have never enjoyed so many different types of cinammon! But it is expensive, so wish I could grind it myself.

Check them out!

There's one in my city, and I like it alot. It's expensive if you buy a bunch of stuff, but I limit myself to a few spices every few months. They are so much better than grocery store spices. It's also a great place to buy gifts. It's the only place I can find whole vanilla beans around here.

There's a Penzeys near me as well, great place. If you're looking for an unusual spice it's probably there.

They recently had a special -- it might have been for catalog subscribers -- for a free jar of spice, so last time I was there I picked up a free jar of the sweet curry powder, and bought a jar of their new minced garlic (it's dehydrated, not a garlic salt), which really comes in handy when we don't want to mince whole garlic.

Their catalog is a good read too.

They are much cheaper if you buy their bagged spices and reuse your old jars. The bags usually have lots more than will fit in a normal spice jar, so stick the extra in your freezer or it will loose flavor.

The pepper grinders that they sell are amazing.

Penzeys fan here too... I ge all my stuff in plastic bags and use my own containers. I've found that using good quality fresh spices you actually use less spice as well.

Yeaaaaa Penzeys!!!!
