I picked up the Maharajah Style Curry Powder which is very pricey at $14.35. I have always wanted to try this as I love their sweet curry, hot curry and rogan josh seasoning.

Penzeys spices are more expensive but WELL worth it if you love to cook and want top flavors. I am pretty cheap but have found that it worth it invest in a smaller quantity of really good spices. My kitchen cabinet is FULL of Penzeys spices. I would be hard pressed to pick a favorite, put we go through a lot of the Chicago Steak Seasoning, the Smoky 4/S Special Season Salt, cinnamon and bags of bay leaves.
