Thanks to you who recommended Penzey's Spices a while back.

I just finished most of my Christmas shopping, especially for some usually difficult- to-buy for people.

Best of all, everything I put into my basket came out at half price.

I don't know why, but I don't think it's because I'm special!

Go have a look if you're still looking for gifts.

1. Thanks for the reminder.

I used to buy from Penzey’s regularly and fell off the wagon when our local organic grocery upped its bulk spice game with great selections and price point. Penzey’s has really diversified itself as the years have gone by and they’ve got no love for the MF squatting in the people’s house. Bookmarking this to button up some holiday shopping I’ve got left to do.

2. Penzey's has the best anti-45 message in retail. And great spices!

I actually have a store near me. Thanks for the reminder to do some holiday shopping there!

3. Glad to help.

They seem like a great company and the prices are wonderful right now.

4. They are an amazing resource.

Great spices and blends (my spice rack is probably 95% Penzey's) from a totally socially conscious company.

Make sure you also get on their email list - they send out some extremely good deals, usually along with a strong message about the current resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Their web site also has some really good recipes and ideas.

Been using them for many years, ever since a friend gave me a sort of housewarming gift box when I moved to Seattle in 1992. Been using their stuff ever since.

There is also a good fan page on Facebook where folks swap ideas and recipes. (Hint: Sunny Paris on fried eggs is absolutely divine, and brings them to a totally new level!)

5. Bought Hubby Cajun Spices - he is very hard to buy for. Thanks for the suggestion.

6. That's great!

I am getting some of that in my own little bonus gift pack.
