Daily Dose

Years and years ago, TW’s mom sent us a huge box filled with spices. It was an odd gift, probably brought on by some phone call between TW and her mom where TW talked about not having spices she needed to make some odd dish or another. I dunno. The box just appeared and inside was the oddest mixture of stuff.

More cupcake/cookie sprinkles than we’d need in a lifetime.
A huge bag of cinnamon sticks (always needed in our house.)
Some weird thing called “cheese powder”
No salt seasoning
lemon seasoning

I could go on and on and on but I won’t. Instead, I’ll just link you to the site where this huge box of seasonings came from: Bulk Foods. Click through and imagine a box with dozens of this stuff. That’s what the gift contained.

Since then, we’ve ordered from Bulk Foods a few times, did I mention we always need cinnamon sticks? And cloves? We’ve always been very pleased with our order and I’ve mentioned them several times in message boards when I worked for WebMD’s old diet program (the Weight Loss Clinic.)

We were in serious need of cinnamon sticks and I kept meaning to order some but put it off and put it off and put it off. Instead, just buying a bottle at the commissary when I remembered that we needed some.

Finally, I got on the ball and ordered bulk cinnamon sticks from Bulk Foods (along with some other odds and ends that we needed.) I ordered it on a Saturday night and the darn box appeared on our doorstep on MONDAY.

Now I know shipping for us is quicker because they are in Ohio and we are now in Illinois but even when we were in Florida – shipping was QUICK.

If you’re looking for bulk spices (or any of the other bulk they sell) give them a try. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. That cheese powder stuff though, that was kind of weird and I’m not really sure what we ever did with it. Sprinkle on popcorn maybe? I don’t know – maybe TW remembers?

I’m not being paid to talk about Bulk Foods. I just really love them and thought it was time for me to say so on my blog.
