I was first introduced to this a couple months ago here in DC and had never used it before. (Good stuff BTW)<br />These are all for the same 6oz / 170g tin can.<br />And all 10 minutes (or less) from our house.<br /> <br />The first place I found it was Safeway for like $2.40<br /><br />The second place a fresh fruit market for $4.60<br /><br />The third place a Store beside Safeway for $3.25<br /><br />The forth was at the commissary at McChorde Air Force Base for $1.19 :eek: <br /><br />$1.19 to $4.60 is a extreme price range! Must have something to do shipping cost and volume sold.<br /><br />Anyone else see something like this?

Re: OLD BAY Seasoning prices

it's one of those products that you just don't buy that often. i have a few cans in the kitchen, but can't remember the last time i bought it (except when we're steaming bussels of crabs). i wouldn't know what the market value of it is unless i compared like you.

Old bay recipes,<br /><br />Just sprinkle old bay on a Oven Stuffer Roaster Chicken, Cook as you normally would and you will have a roast chicken with a crispy skin that will have them coming back for more. <br /><br />I go through a super size container about every 6 months, Can't remember what I paid for it though.

Man you can get Old Bay in Lakewood WA. Lucky you. Any time I go to Maine I have to bring a case of it for the family. Every year I ended up taking more then I did the last because someone let a neighbor or friend try it. Good stuff. Try it on Potato salad.

Hey Spratt <br /> Check out where I am from. They make old bay up the street. If i ever do move away from here I will be sure to take a 55 gallon drum with me and plan on returning when it was gone.

They make it about 10 miles from my house & when the wind is right in the morning the smell hangs in the air. Always a good way to start the day.<br />It goes good on any seafood & chicken too.<br />Somebody makes a potato chip flavored w/ it. Pretty tasty.

Re: OLD BAY Seasoning prices

I never used Old Bay seasoning. I strictly use Everglades Seasoning on Fish , pork and poultry.<br />It's simular to OLD BAY, (judging by the recipe Relentless posted)....But not the same.<br />Sister 12Footer calls it "monkey dust", lives in Georgia, and can't buy it there. I allways wrap her up a can or two at Christmas :)
