For the seasonings, I need/want maybe 5-6 things. Not anything as expensive as saffron, and I have Coriander seeds, but the large size of things like Cardomom start adding up. I make my own Corning Mix we use it on both Beef and Pork (and want to try mutton some day), the McCormick's Pickling Spice is close but not quite right... I also make Alton Brown's Garam Masala mix.
I went to Amazon and got some prime day specials on some things... probably not everything I want but a start. About $60 off the top of my head and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few things.
