Back again. I know I will never finish this thread!!! Do you freeze your spices. If so, do all spices freeze well. We have a local natural foods store that buys spices in bulk and sells them in sandwich bags at a ridiculously low price compared to chain stores. Most of the spices are $1.25 a bag. I place the bags in one of my larger pill bottles and put in the freezer, leaving just a small amount in a small pill bottle marked with a magic marker for everyday use. Do you know if that is an exceptable way to store them? I buy my yeast there in bulk at a very low price and keep that in the freezer and have done this for years with excellent results.

I like to store spices in food saver bags- the food saver vacuum sealer is great for long term storage of many things. Spices seem to keep their flavor better when sealed. I haven’t froze them, but not sure why you couldn’t- maybe someone else here has experience with freezing spices.

I don't freeze mine. I just buy them and store them with our supplies.

Here's a site that may help you. Many links on it as well.
