Health food stores can be a good place to buy spices. They are sold in the herbal area in 2 oz. bags, and smell fresher than their counterparts in the grocery store. It's also affordable to try more exotic spices that you might not normally be able to budget for.
Health food stores are also good for buying nuts in their bulk section. Sometimes you can get the raw nuts cheaper, and all you have to do is put them in the oven for 5-10 min (don't let them brown too much--almonds that are cooked too long smell like coffee), and you have the roasted version.
Asian markets can sometimes be good for spices too, but you have to cross-check.
