A Very Foodie Christmas Gift Idea

Are you wondering what to give the Foodies in your life for Christmas? I have an idea. To be perfectly honest more than anything this is what would make me happy for Christmas.

Bulk Dried goods.

Seriously, the price of everything is going up. The experts are telling us that the economy is going to get worse before it gets better. One of the things I cherish as a cook are the little packets of specialty items that you buy by the ounce and pay for through the nose. Like... Sun-dried Tomatoes, Dried Mangoes, Dried Mushrooms, Dried Cranberries etc...

You can buy these items in bulk on the Web for much less than you pay at the store, but what are you going to do with 5 lbs of Sun-dried Tomatoes or 5 lbs of Dried Apricots. Give them as gifts. It's great you get to keep a pound for yourself and you give the Foodies in your life a pound as well. It's an everybody wins kind of thing. You get dried this or that at a good price. You get to give your friends a present you know they will use and enjoy at a good price. If you tell your friends about this idea they may give you dried foods you can enjoy. If things work out perfectly you may get to enjoy some of the things your friends make with your gift. What could be better?

I know it's a little weird, but it's just a suggestion...
