food noob, where to buy cheap bulk spices? I have a curry-based

Supermarket bulk foods aisle usually, or find someplace online. Maybe a local food co-op or something like that.

Enjoy your diseases. Never buy anything from those unless they are wrapped or going to be boiled.

you sound like a super fun person.

did you remember to replace the plastic wrap on your couch today?

bulk food store?

duh

Grow them. The "I dont have enough space" excuse won't work. There's always a way.

You know what's fun? Safety. You know what's not fun? Eating shit that grubby children touch and disgusting subhuman grocery store workers sneeze over.

what the hell kind of grocery store do you go to that the bulk foods aren't in plastic dispensers that prevent you from touching the product?

>>7505897
They are. Plastic dispensers with doors that can be opened. Ever see how that shit is delivered? Thin plastic bags in cardboard boxes that are poured into dispensers that are NEVER cleaned.

OP here, doesn't seem to be much in the means of bulk food near me. Assuming I ordered online, are there any places that would beat Amazon for price/shipping? I'm seeing 5lb bags of curry, turmeric, and other stuff I'd want for less than on other places, and I have prime as well. Pic related is 23 bucks with free 2-day shipping.

>implying the minute amount of pathogens which live on your spices wouldn't be killed a) by contact with antibacterial agents in the spices themselves or b) cooking

restaurant supply store

If in canada, BulkBarn is great. actually fairly cheap for spices. other shit is way over priced tho

>>7505837
You can get most spices in supermarkets, at least here in the UK - but they are pricey and small quantities

For bulk you are best off online or at one of those niche little shops - for example I live in London and it's not too difficult to find one of this little indian shops that have shit loads of assorted spices

yeah, OP thinks he's gonna go with the online route, there's just not enough Indians, Arabs, or Asians where I live.
