    Someone said that waitrose has a foreign foods section that's actually really cheap - 200g or cumin for the price of 50 from schwartz or something. I can't verify, but might be worth a look.

    One of the guys at work is married to a Chinese lady and he have me some green tea which is just beautiful

    In all supermarkets you can find ethnic sections where bags of spices are cheaper than the 35g jars of Schwartz, yeah.

    It's interesting how much the ranges stocked by the big guys varies by the area served
    I'm thinking of the huge pie section in the Weston-super-Mare Tesco's :-)
    It's the final countdown! PM me before they're all gone!

    I think I got a huge bag that filled both these large jars for about three quid, for example
