Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone else has the same issue? So i have plenty of different herbs from rosemary, lavender, rose, marjoram, dill, wild rue and more, however i always notice when i want to do a spell i don’t have hardly any of the ingredients. Of course us witches are very flexible and creative, so i then look for another spell just to have the same issue again… I have a list of substitutes for exotic ones and even do my research for common ones too…
I guess what i am saying is i have been divided as to whether or not i should purchase this 50+ pack of common and uncommon herbs so i don’t have this problem… Its not much really just $50 but i am fretting what hubby will say as i already lavish in items for my craft… Any opinions or suggestions?
I cant really say a whole lot bc i have 104 at last count. Lol and i keep getting more. Hubby just rolls his eyes and has learned to just accept it. Besides hes the one who got me my cabinet. 
I’m a big enabler, so you won’t catch me saying not to treat yourself to fun new herbs 
Additionally, dried herbs (if properly dried and stored) aren’t going to go bad or rot- they may lose flavor over time, but taste isn’t as important if they are being used for magickal workings (as opposed to being cooked with).
If it’s a good price, contains the herbs you most often use/want, and you feel it will help you a lot with your spellwork, I say it’s a worthwhile investment! 
Yep, especially when it comes to herbs, I’m a big ‘ol enabler like @BryWisteria 
I say buy the herbs and make a nice meal for the hubby using some of them…that’ll soften him up 
I’m afraid I’m with the others here and can’t be on the “no don’t get it” side. I’ve lost count of how many herbs I have but as a green witch, it’s a bunch lol. I agree with @BryWisteria that is it’s a good price and has what you need then get it. And @Satu_TheGreenWitch has a great idea for bribing your husband.
I won’t be an enabler here but I do want to say that a lot of herbs that are called for in spells can actually be found in your local grocery store, Asian market, or botanica!
@Satu_TheGreenWitch and @Amaris_Bane - Welcome to team “Herbal Enablers” 
@MeganB That’s a really good point! 
Some stores offer spices at really discounted prices too- if you have an Ocean State Job Lot nearby, they carry dried herbs and spices for about a dollar a container. And bulk places like the Atlantic Spice Company (they have an outlet on Cape Cod, but likely ship elsewhere) sell for great prices- although the packages are pretty large 
When it comes to buying herbs, we’re blessed to have lots of fun choices!
