I seem to recall I got a similar deal from a local merchant for my largish
bottle as well. But King Arthur Flour sells the 1 oz sampler set for
$12.95 and the small bottle for $3.95 (another brand is $5.95). Wait for
a free shipping deal and you're golden.

Speaking of KAF, they have a Lemon Juice Powder. Does anyone know how
this compares to the TrueLemon? I googled up suppliers for TrueLemon, and
it seems to be mostly big box stores around here, so I'd rather get it
from KAF. Anyone have experience with this product?
