I recently found 1.5 ounces of ground pepper for $1, which is maybe 40% less
than what I would pay, per pound, for peppercorns at my local Indian store.
(Incredibly, my local health food stores charge MORE for peppercorns than
the Indian store, even though they sell spices from bulk bins, unlike in the
Indian store!)

So, given that it IS convenient to buy only a small amount at a time, is
there any good reason not to buy ground pepper?

Once ground, it loses its flavor rapidly. So I prefer it not to be ground.
