I shop here too. I didn't think anywhere could beat the buying power of the supermarkets so I compared the prices expecting that things here would be more expensive, but I was amazed that most of the things were definitely cheaper. It's also great for specialist ingredients (GF recipes I'm looking at you!) to be able to just buy the amount you need rather than pay heaps for a whole bag of something when you only needed a couple of teaspoons! And buying spices by weight is literally a tenth of the unit price or less!! I refill most of my spice jars for 10-20c! It's wonderful. My only problem has been an outbreak of weevils once because I didn't freeze some organic brown rice I bought here and kept in the cupboard for ages. Now I just try to buy smaller amounts more regularly and freeze anything I'll have around for more than a few weeks. No problems since!
