Also look for nuts in Indian grocery stores; their prices are amazing!

Why taste, Isa? I've always found them fresher than the grocery store, because their turnover is so high. Just curious!

I always taste nuts before buying them Marm, an old habit. Imagine coming home and discover your nuts aren't fresh.

I second the toasted walnuts recommendation - in addition, Sam's Club or Costco have enormous bags of pignoli for very reasonable prices. At holiday time, I buy all my nuts and chocolate chips, etc., from bulk stores.
