Here's another one to try Nigel.  Not sure what bulk items they sell but their prices beat everyone else by miles.
I just wish i was 30 miles closer for delivery myself. ::)

Cheers, Frank.  ;)

Take a drive around your local asian community areas and you will find local grocery stores will stock almost everything you need at the best prices.
Sacks of onions and catering size cans of veg oil are a big give away ;)


The one I use find it great that an english white guy knows so much about spices and is picky about his fresh produce and are always very welcoming.
