I've been trying to find the best place to order vanilla.. extract. I
had found a page that looked promising, but lost the bookmark when I
had to reformat my computer unexpectedly.

All I learned was to avoid most mexican vanilla because it may be
adulterated. I'm nearly homebound, so it's difficult for me to shop
locally. I could get some for 49¢ an ounce at the local food co-op,
if I could get there, and may get someone to go eventually, but I'd
like to know of any good sites to order from.

I'm not exactly wealthy and so free shipping are a plus ;-)
Thanks for any help you can offer!

Pure vanilla extract is not cheap.

Sam's club is down to 13.95 for a bottle, 16 oz. Shows on the web site
as 17.65, but I recall it being less at the store. Or maybe I was
hallucinating.

You might note that "Imitation Vanilla extract" works well for many
things. Even Cooks Illustrated found it so.

Penzeys. Go to www.penzeys.com and order the double strength. It's not
cheap, but good vanilla never is, and it's stronger so you can get away with
using less without losing any flavor.

I still can't believe I was given 2 vanilla beans for Christmas one year and
threw them away! Hey, I was in my 20's and stupid. Damn things are worth
their weight in gold
