    This pattern can sometimes be seen even in the same store when you look at things in other aisles vs the international aisle. Early in the pandemic, I was expecting food supply to get disrupted and decided to stock up on some spices while they were still available. A large bag of cumin (like 1kg) in the international aisle was about the same price as a 250g cumin package in the spice aisle, and both were cheaper than a plastic shaker filled with like 100g.

    I’m not sure if that’s still the case though. I’m still going through that 1kg of cumin today, glad that I opted for the whole cumin seed instead of ground because the whole seeds last longer.

      Was about to say this too! Seasoning in the “Hispanic foods” section is SO much cheaper.
