Spices
Spices are a complicated item because you can’t actually store them for a long time since they go bad. Spices like cinnamon, saffron, and oregano need to be taken care of. In terms of price, it may seem like a bargain to buy large amounts of spices compared to the small containers in supermarkets.
However, unless you’re feeding an army, you won’t run out of these spices before they lose their flavor. The lifespan of ground spices is two to three years. After that, they lose their freshness and flavor.
Suppose you buy standard-sized spice bottles (up to 3 ounces at traditional grocery stores or large retailers). In that case, it is realistic to complete them within that time frame. However, when you buy spices in bulk from the Warehouse Club, which comes in 5-pound containers, it may take much longer to finish.

meats and chicken really are a good buy if you have a food saver machine that can vacuum seal your product, thereby prolonging it life span within reason of course>?
The same with their 3 big tubs of Guacamole. Unless you are having a party, it spoils within 3 to 4 days after opening it. I live alone and even one tub was too
much. I gave two tubs away. Demo lady said you can freeze it, but it doesn’t taste the same, but it is still edible
It is a bit of fun to use your food saver, and share with neighbors. Win-win all around, and no waste.
Great information. I wasn’t aware how things like spices can go out of date so quickly. So I will definitely use this information when determining what I buy at warehouse stores….Thanks
