Source for Bulk Spices and Herbs in Providence Area

[GreenGal]

Is there a place in the Providence area which sells herbs and/or spices in bulk? I am really missing my natural foods store in Illinois with the bulk spice bins, and Stop & Shop definitely does not cut it.

Thanks! Here's hoping....

Drive to lexington mass, about an hour north of Providence and go to the Penzey Spice store. Solves all your problems.

Bulk spices are ot a good buy unless you use tons of them if you need to buy freeze some they will supress the oils in them. i use about 120 different spices a lot come from over seas in contact paper they peel off like tape. Good Luck.

Thanks, actually I am looking for bulk spices primarily so that I can purchase very tiny amounts of certain spices (and not have to purchase them online ideally). I have a habit of rather variable cooking interests and very little freezer space.

Can't help with bins, but:

Price Rite in Eagle Square has big bags of spices and chiles in the Hispanic aisle;

Not Just Spice on hope has good deals on spices used in Indian cooking.

Shores Market on Mineral Spring in North Providence has a house brand of spices that is far cheaper than most supermarkets.

There is also a Middle Eastern market on Mineral Spring
