Does anyone know of any bulk spice shops I can go buy at? There was one in my area years ago but it went out of business. Rolling Meadows area would be great as my office is moving there.

Here are my top 10 most used herbs/spices: 1) Garlic Powder 2) Cardamom (it's great in yoghurt) 3) Chinese five spice 4) Cumin Seed 5) Garam Masala 6) Turmeric 7) Hungarian Paprika (sweet) 8) Thyme 9) Coriander 10) Bay Leaf & Kaffir lime leaf I pick up the bay & kaffir lime leaves fresh and just freeze them. They keep due to their very low moisture content. Thank you for sharing the joys & wonders of bulk spice shopping! Here are my top 10 most used herbs/spices:
