In some cases, especially if you have a large family that consumes a lot of fresh produce, purchasing them at a large store can be a good idea, so this is a tricky one.

With spices you will face the same problem as coffee: They just don’t have a long enough shelf life to consider buying in bulk. That extra-large bottle of Italian herbs won’t look moldy, but will none-the-less lose most of its flavor over time.
