It is a great place for baking supplies, but you have to watch the
prices. Herbs and spices are a steal, usually a very small fraction of
the price of bottled products. I am not sure about flour. I can usually
do better by buying larger bags. It is the one place I can usually find
all the dried and glazed fruit I need for fruitcakes.

Do you notice the same thing about so many of their customers being
there only for candy?
