True.


FWIW.... I buy my herbs in the Bulk Barn. I pay only a fraction the
price that I would if I bought it by the bottle in the grocery store.
For instance, a few years ago when I needed ground ginger, it was $3.99
fr a bottle in the grocery store. I kept my old bottle and filled it
with the stuff I got in bulk for less than 20 cents. One gorcery store
sells herbs in bulk. I enough marjoram to fill the old bottle and it was
so light it did not register on checkout scale so the cashier didn't
charge me for it.

If the herbs ans spices get old and lose their flavour I throw them out
and get new. It is much cheaper than buy them by the bottle.
