A Spicy Tip


While getting ready to prepare the Butternut Squash Risotto for Sunday's post, realized we were out of paprika and ran up to the grocery store to grab some.  Ran in, went to the International Foods section, got we needed and left.

On the brief ride home, wondered if anyone else was aware of this money-saving discovery and thought we'd share.  If you want to find spices at a not-losing-your-shirt price, check out the Spanish food area of your grocery store.  Not only can you find most of your basic spices, but you'll find them for almost 50% less than what they're charging in the baking isle.  Cha-ching!

Another way to save on your spice purchases is to buy the store brand.  It will save you a buck or two which, when you do as much cooking as we know you do now that you're TCCers, then it will add up to some sweet savings.
