Later on our beloved dafter worked for a corporation that was also the owner of Watkins. When I first started buying this cinnamon it was at least partly because of the employee discount available to me through that offspring. I buy in bulk directly from the name on the can.
Because it IS the best cinnamon ever and I use it exclusively.
Every year we get a coupon book for the State Fair that features a discount on a single 6 ounce can of Cannelle. We get two of those coupon books and always make a swing down to that end of the grounds to purchase our discounted two tins. Best cinnamon ever.
The last time I purchased directly from the name on the can I bought a very large amount. I calculated how many cans I would have to buy to raise the amount of my order to the level where I would get free shipping. I think it might have been something like 18 cans. I know that the cinnamon comes 12 to a box and inside my shipping carton I had a full unopened box and several more cans.
Well, I am almost out.
I went to the website as I have in the past. I don't really want that much cinnamon on hand at this point so I was going to order a couple or a few cans and figure out how to minimize shipping. Something has changed at the website and now in order to figure out shipping before checkout they required that I call them. I've been trying to get around to that. In addition I decided that I should check the local grocery store price to be sure how many I needed to order to make the price worthwhile with shipping included.
The price at the website was $9 almost $10. When I checked earlier today they were running a special for $8.54 per 6 ounce can.
After poker tonight I stopped at the grocery store for the sole purpose of visiting the spice aisle.
$3.99
Best cinnamon ever.

Since I don't really like cinnamon and cannot recall ever using any from the copious amounts GZ has purchased over the years (he really likes it on his oatmeal), I cannot comment on Watkins' quality. I can say that it has been fun buying it at the fair (thinking we were saving money plus it is a tradition after all).
Wow, that's a crazy difference in price. Excellent perseverance.
