Get your spices at Ocean State Job Lot


My 21-year-old son, Jeff, and his lovely girlfriend, Elise, moved into their own place over the weekend. At a family dinner yesterday, there was no shortage of advice for them.

One of the best tips delivered their way was one I thought was well worth sharing.

"Get your spices at Job Lot."

Ocean State Job Lot is a discount chain specializing in manufacturers' closeout and overstock merchandise. The store acquires brand-name goods from manufacturers willing to sell them at a loss.

They carry a huge variety of spices (still in code!) for just $1 each. Compared to supermarket pricing, a deal like that gives reason enough to visit the store -- especially for those on a tight budget or just starting out.

Check out the Ocean State Job Lot location in Brooklyn, Connecticut. Hey, over there you also have a great big Salvation Army Thrift Store next door where you can continue on with your bargain shopping!
