Try 'em, but place a largish order so you can justify the shipping
fee. I only get the smallest size offered of most of the spices
offered - easier to stash in my spice drawer .

About their blends tho - you can probably almost duplicate them
yourself if you feel like doing some mixin' and measuring. I make up
a
poultry blend, pork blend, Greek blend, Italian blend, fish blend,
and one for veggies.

I have also found some pretty decent recipes in their catalog.
