I needed a few cinnamon sticks. Went to Save On Foods.

Spice aisle: small spice jar with maybe 8 sticks in it. $6.99.

Ethnic food aisle: 4lb bag with like 100 sticks: $4.00.

It's exhausting.

A lot of that is for to the distributor.

What people don't realize is that grocery stores don't really order/stock everything themselves. A lot of product is brought in by vendors who bought shelf space. The big guys, like Nabisco, coke, Pepsi, Frito lay, Bimbo, etc., all order and stock their own stuff.

They might be getting standard spices from over distributor and the Mexican spices from another, etc.
