Often seasoning mix packets are considerably higher in price than the mixture of spices they contain. If there is something you use frequently, consider making up a jar of mixed spices to use. Some of the lower priced spices are at Aldi, dollar stores (99 Cent Only stores have good buys) or sometimes drug stores have low priced spices (Walgreens, CVS).
