Reply to comment by [deleted] in Are there any stores or grocery chains that sell spices in bulk? by splotchypeony
I think there are lots of people in this thread who may be unaware that buying bulk means buying by weight... so the bulk means that the store is buying in bulk, and you can buy as little as you want. https://homeinthefingerlakes.com/bulk-shopping-25-essential-spices-pantry/
I can understand the confusion coming from the use of the word "bulk"!

Oh that explains some of the responses thanks. I'll add an edit.

Thank you for asking the question, I've been wondering this myself. Too bad none of the responses so far are close to me.

Yeah I'm surprised none of the chains have it (that I've been to so far). HEB's in Texas were bigger than the ones here, so my guess is that bulk spices aren't mainstream enough to be profitable for smaller grocery stores (if that makes sense).
It's definitely more environmentally friendly, so it's ironic they don't sell them like that at Whole Foods.
