Buy Spices Less Than Walmart

May 21, 2010 - PRLog -- Spices are one of the most outrageously marked up items we buy at the grocery store, and one trip down the spices aisle can put a huge hurting on your bottom line at the check out.

Yet, spices are essential to good cooking and for the longest time consumers have been at the mercy of a few dominant major brand names, who reap astounding profits while we suffer helplessly.

As an example, the price of McCormick oregano (Shop Rite - Bay Shore, NY - May, 2010) is $ 8.08 an ounce. Incredible. And we pay it. Store brands are cheaper though, but still expensive, and Walmart offers a number of discount brands as do dollar stores and Walgreen's with their own brand at just 99 cents an ounce. You can also save money on spices by buying in bulk, but spices don't retain their pizazz forever and who needs a pound of oregano unless you own a pizzeria?

Dollar a Day Gourmet is an upstart web site that focuses on how to save money on food bills, while promoting good nutrition and how to make life easier in the kitchen and better in the dining room.

As part of this effort, the have launched their own private label of spices at just 98 cents an ounce, the cheapest price we believe to be found anywhere.

They beat their lowest competitors by a penny, just to prove they can, and they still make a little profit. AND? Shipping and handling is free! Delivered to your door, USPS priority mail.

In a nifty gimmick, they also offer you your own private labelling, and the minimum order is just ONE set of 16 spices, your total cost just $ 15.68, again with FREE shipping and handling.

Dollar a Day Gourmet cheapskate laureate and spiritual advisor "Chef Monk," when asked "How can it be done at this price?" said,

"Simple. We don't rip you off. Spices are one of the outrageously most marked up items on the planet, and we're happy to make just a small profit for the satisfaction of contributing to your bottom line in helping reduce your food costs.

"We're a little guy, a small fish in a sea of sharks. Every penny counts, and that's what Dollar a Day Gourmet is all about, saving money on food while not sacrificing nutrition or great food."

This is destined to be one of the hottest Holiday, Birthday and Mother's Day gift items of the millennium, but it's also the best buy on spices to be found anywhere, in stores OR on the web.
