Spices Online Price 98 Cents an Ounce

May 28, 2010 - PRLog -- Traditionally, the markup on spices is one of if not the highest of anything we buy in the grocery store, and one push of the cart down the spices aisle can double your bottom line at the checkout.

Yes, store brands are cheaper, and some discount retailers, such as Walgreen's even offer their own brand of spices at 99 cents an ounce.

The Internet is causing some fierce competition in the consumer spices markup though, and although there are many web offerings that can save you a bundle on spices, you often have to buy larger sizes to realize a discount. But, many people say that spices don't retain their potency forever and unless you own a pizzeria, who needs a whole pound of Oregano?

One ounce remains a very convenient size for consumers, and while spices online vary in price they seem to hover in the two dollar and change range, which when shipping and handling is added really is not what you'd call bargain spices.

Now, though, upstart food savings web site Dollar a Day Gourmet has reset the bar for the competition in a spicy Limbo dance of "how low can you go?" on spice prices, and their new offering is 98 cents an ounce for spices online, and shipping and handling is free.

This, they claim, is the lowest price on spices in America, beating any regular store price, store brand, discount store, Dollar Store, even Walgreen's 99 cent an ounce product, and they invite anyone to correct them if their claim isn't accurate and they will even publish a link to the competitor's website on their home page.

And in a slick marketing twist, they also let you optionally design your own private label, which is bound to make their 16 spice selection a popular gift item for Mother's Day, birthdays and holidays, while others will just be taking advantage of the huge savings.
