A pound is a lot of any spice! A typical supermarket bottle is probably an ounce. You’ll have enough for a lifetime.

I’ve been buying my spices in bulk on Amazon for a while now. I always try to combine sales with S&S savings and I’ve found a few brands that I think the quality is superior to grocery store brands. We cook almost all our meals from scratch, so we go through a lot of spices. We probably go through a 25 oz bottle of granulated garlic in 6-9 months in addition to buying garlic bulbs every shopping trip. Other spices we don’t go through that fast, but in my experience (which I know is contrary to what the internet says), they last quite awhile. And even if the potency decreases, the cost savings are so much that you can just add more. For example, I just paid $6.36 for 24 oz Amazon granulated garlic ($0.265/oz). Kroger is $15.99 for 24.7 oz ($0.647/oz). I bought a pound of bay leaves in 2019 for $15.12 ($0.945/oz). Admittedly, a pound of bay leaves is a ridiculous amount but thankfully we have plenty of storage and they still smell very fragrant 5 years later. Kroger wants $3.69 for 0.13 oz. Yes I paid ~4x the cost, but I got 123x the amount. Anyway, obviously this won’t work for everyone, but it works great for us.

@mtnagel I use a lb of Cumin over 2-3 years, making my home made Dill Dip, it stores for 2 weeks. I make a lot of it. I put it in my refrigerator in the back, where its coolest. As soon as its finished, I make another one. I have it with baby carrots, every day. My son loves it, with wheat thins, when he comes over.

@marvomatic Wow, you make a lot of dip. What else is in the dip?
The only thing I use cumin for is Indian food which I don’t make very often.I bought a pound of white pepper last year. It will last for years. I poured some into a spice jar and vacuum sealed the remainder.

I make most of my own spice blends and cumin is the main component in taco seasoning and garam masala and there is some in chili powder. But I also use it in a lot of recipes too.
