You probably aren't losing, but many of us don't have
access to the "corner grocer" you cited. It's the same
for the spice discussion going on right now. If you have
access to the ethnic markets, chances are you CAN get
spices a lot cheaper than Penzey's (not factoring quality)
but many of us don't have that access. H*ll, even the
nearest Trader Joe's is at least 1000 miles away from me.
