Spices from the bulk bins are the No. 1 money-saver at WinCo Foods — you’ll save up to 92%!

Because you’re buying by the pound and spices are so light, you can get a huge amount from the WinCo bulk foods section for way less than you’d pay in the spice jar aisle.

For example, you could buy a 1.31-ounce jar of Italian seasoning for $4.48 in the spice jar aisle or get an entire 1-pound bag of Italian seasoning from WinCo’s bulk aisle for $4.30. That’s a $3.16/oz price difference, or a savings of 92%!

They even sell red-topped spice jars in the bulk bin aisle for $0.78 so you can store your bulk bin spices at home. Or just refill whatever spice jars you already have.
