If you've ever bought an entire jar of a spice for one recipe and then watched it sit in your cabinet for the next three years, there's a better way.
At Life Essentials Refillery in South Tampa, we carry more than 200 spices and seasonings in bulk, so you can buy exactly what you need.
Need a tablespoon for a new recipe? You can do that.
Need enough garlic powder to refill the giant jar your family somehow empties constantly? You can do that too.
Our spice section is one of our favorite parts of the store—and one that many Tampa shoppers still don't know exists.
A Bulk Spice Store in South Tampa
Life Essentials Refillery is located at:
4317 W El Prado Blvd
Tampa, FL 33629
We're a locally owned refill and bulk store serving South Tampa and customers from across the Tampa Bay area, including North Tampa, Carrollwood, Citrus Park, Brandon, Wesley Chapel and surrounding communities.
Our bulk section includes 200+ individual spices, herbs, peppers, salts and seasoning blends.
Instead of paying for another bottle every time you need a spice, you pay for the product you actually want.
Why Buy Spices in Bulk?
One of the biggest benefits of shopping for bulk spices is simple:
You control how much you buy.
Trying a new recipe that calls for a spice you've never used before?
Buy a little.
Found a seasoning you use constantly?
Fill your whole jar.
Want to try several new flavors without buying several full-size containers?
You can do that too.
Buying spices this way can help save money, reduce food waste and keep unnecessary packaging out of your kitchen.
Bring Your Own Spice Jars
Have empty spice jars sitting at home?
Bring them!
We'll weigh your empty container before you fill it so you only pay for what's inside.
Mason jars, old spice jars and other clean reusable containers are welcome.
Don't have a container? That's okay too.
You don't need special jars or containers to shop our bulk section. We have options available at the store, so anyone can shop.
More Than 200 Spices and Seasonings
Walking through our spice section is a little different from grabbing a bottle at the grocery store.
You can explore individual spices, dried herbs, seasoning blends, salts and other ingredients all in one place.
That makes it especially fun if you love to cook—or if you're trying to get yourself out of a cooking rut.
Making tacos?
Building a curry?
Trying a new soup?
Baking?
Making your own seasoning blend?
Looking for that one unusual spice a recipe calls for?
There's a very good chance we have something for you.
And if you're overwhelmed by all the choices, just ask us. We're happy to help you find what you're looking for.
You Don't Have to Be a Zero-Waste Expert
This is important.
You don't need a collection of matching glass jars.
You don't need to live a zero-waste lifestyle.
And you definitely don't need to know how a refill store works before you walk through our doors.
Just come in.
We'll show you how everything works.
For most of our bulk products, it's as simple as choosing what you want, getting the amount you need and paying by weight.
That's it.
Bulk Herbs and Loose Leaf Tea in Tampa, Too
Spices aren't the only thing you'll find in our bulk section.
Life Essentials Refillery also carries more than 100 teas and herbs, giving Tampa shoppers another way to explore new flavors without committing to a whole box or large package.
You can choose the amount that works for you, whether you're trying something for the first time or refilling a favorite.
A Different Way to Shop for Spices in Tampa
Life Essentials Refillery was built around a simple idea: everyday shopping shouldn't have to create so much waste.
But shopping in bulk isn't only about reducing packaging.
Sometimes it's simply a better way to shop.
Buy what you need.
Try new things.
Refill what you already own.
Waste less.
And maybe discover a new favorite while you're here.
