Don’t Buy – Spices
This is another wholesale option that is best avoided. You do not ever need a restaurant-level spice stockpile unless you need to feed many people every day! Spices also tend to lose their potency over time, as in the case of ground coffee. To keep your meals as fragrant and fiery as possible, buy a decent amount of spice at a time. Even those that are committed to making a large pot of curry every day can only use so much spice!

Buy – Vanilla
Vanilla, unlike other spices, will keep its potency for a long time, even if you buy it in bulk and plan on storing it for a long time. Of course, most people will go for vanilla extract, rather than the raw spice itself, so a big bottle of the essential baking ingredient from Costco is a fantastic purchase for serious bakers. You do not need to own a bakery to justify purchasing a larger bottle of vanilla extract, especially with these prices!
