for buying bulk dry beans and spices, are the prices better at fairway or sahadi’s per pound? thinking of getting the usual suspects (e.g., dry mustard, black beans, cumin, etc.)

thx!

This makes me homesick for Brooklyn! I just moved away about 6 months ago. Although, I’m following a similar budget ($100/week for a family of three), and I often think that my version of this project would be much harder if I still lived in pricey NYC.

Thanks for the comment, Colleen, and the catch! I’ve corrected the link to Carmel in the blog post. Their address is 6427 108th St. in Flushing (corner of 108th St. and 64th Rd.). They also, incidentally, have what I believe to the best house-made takeout hummus in the City of New York… but let your taste buds be your guide.

I am also trying to live on a budget and I definitely commiserate about the price of nuts. Where is this Queens store with the exceptional prices –108th and…? (When I click on the Carmel hyperlink, it links to a google map of Trader Joe’s.)

Thanks for this fascinating blog! Best of luck with your continuing endeavors!
