And probably some of the less easily found spices as well...

That's pretty much my assessment, too...

Point.  I noticed that they have $6 little cases of saffron...flat,
round, about the size of a needle case...the threads themselves probably
weigh some infinitessimal fraction of an ounce... ;)

And less temptation to overeat....  ;)

That one doesn't last long, for sure...  :)
