Do you have any "GROCERY OUTLET" stores there? Or a COSTCO? Those are
excellent places to find items in large amounts for low prices. We live
near Portland, OR so I don't know what is in your area. But I bet you
could find a quart or gallon size bottle of Maraschino Cherries at one of
these places.
Also, perhaps I made a wrong assumption that everyone on this list knew
about PENZEY'S? They are "THE" spice company! i don't know how fast you
need your spices (tonight? or next week?) but they do get their orders
shipped out pretty quickly. You can also order online (or just order a
catalog) at www.penzeys.com and I KNOW you can get cardamom pods there,
because I've ordered some from them before!
Merry Christmas!
