Kirkland Spices – Don’t Buy
Spices are the same as coffee when it comes to its shelf life. If left to sit in your cupboard for too long they lose their strength and flavor. It’s always better to buy smaller jars to ensure you get the fullness of the flavor.
Pure Vanilla Extract – Buy
Because vanilla extract doesn’t lose its flavor like dry spices you can buy a big bottle and it will remain the same. Unless you prefer to use vanilla beans, this is a great, tasty, and cost-effective alternative.
