HOW TO SAVE ON SPICES! Tuesday tip

So buying seasonings is one of my worst nightmares.  There are a lot of spices out there with soy lecithin or wheat in it. Which I am majorly sensitive to.  So I finally did my shopping around and found spices at a Bargain Prices and made my own!!  No more worries about coupons or getting the right one for me.  So I am sharing my recipes and my shopping trip with you.

Here's what I bought.  I had to go to different stores because what I needed wasn't all in one store. But if you go to Aldi first you can get most of the spices there for $1. 

TOTAL SPENT: $6 but up to $9.  I already had a few things on had!!

TOTAL COST PER SERVING: Not sure but I would say around the same price as when you get them on sale. .35-.65 an oz.

Aldi's had the best deals

3oz-3.75oz for $1  

Dollar Tree

1.75 oz-3oz for $1

Buy for Less

2.5 oz for $.97
