No Winco here and I haven't ever seen them in a bulk section. They're
cheap enough that I don't mind replacing them, but I need to be better
about putting a date on the package. I was caught off guard once with
the baking soda - everything was fresh, but whatever it was didn't
turn out the way it should have - so I looked at the box and it was a
year or two out of date. I've gotten much better about refreshing
them since then.
