I have been using the Penzey's Smoked Paprika for a few years. I just discovered the Spice House a few months ago & they seem to have a little bit bigger selection of spices/etc , including pink salt. I received an email/ad from them recently and they are on an Alton Brown fruitcake episode this month. I'll still buy from Penzeys when I'm near one of their stores but if I mail order it will probably be from the Spice House.
I just got a package from Penzeys today. I'll have to check out the spice house next time I need something.
Anyone ever use this store? Looks like some pretty good prices.

I read somewhere that the owners of Penzeys & the Spice House are related. I have received one order from the Spice House & they seem to the same quality as Penzeys.. They are similar in a few ways - the labels are not fancy, both have the jars but also the spices in plastic bags (which are usually cheaper), both fresh, I haven't compared side by side but I think the prices are similar.
I order from Penzey's. I search other sites if Penzey's doesn't have what I'm looking for. So I may try the Spice House next time.

You may be right. I was just checking out the site, and their gift packages look very similiar.
Duck, I might give them a try. Prices sure beat Penzeys. I like his shipping. $5.95 for 1 or 20 jars!
Yes they are related . Here is a link to the story.

I have been going there(because I live in Milwaukee) for over 30 years.

That's what I was thinking, SS. It wouldn't cost much to try a couple different spices.

SD,
Looks like a good place to get spices. Cheaper than whole foods.
OK.......needed spices in the worst way, so I sold a golf club on EBay and used some of the proceeds to try the spices from the location I linked to above. For $44 (which included shipping) I was able to purchase the following:

I must say these are very generous sized spices. The most expensive was the smoked paprika. I haven't tried them yet as they just arrived, but I am impressed by the size. I will follow up with taste once I use them.

I probably would gave gone that route, but just received a bulk order from Butcher-Packer. I could not find a good way to store, and all the containers I found were expensive. Found these guys and they work great! $1.05 each and they come with a shaker top if you need it. Quick delivery also.

Horseradish powder.....very nice....is it expensive?
SD
Pretty reasonable. $6.38 lb.
I'll bet thats good and adds a nice zing to stuff
It does go well with a lot of rubs, good in sausage, ect. It's very good if you are using "Jan's Rub". I cut back on the Lawrys and add some horsey powder.
San Francisco Herb Company is another "bulk" herb company - bought from them for years and have been satisfied.
