Hi - am looking to buy spices etc loose preferably to make curry from scratch. So expensive in supermarkets!
Been living abroad and could buy tumeric, fenugreek etc very cheaply
Anyone know anywhere like that in Sheffield?
Thanks in advance!

Try in asian areas. Firth park Pagehall is probably the cheapest place. Netheredge bit expensive.
Thanks everyone.
Abbeydale rd prob closest to me. How far along is the picture house? Is it near the sharrow vale /HSBC junction or closer to town?

It's near the junction with Broadfield Road.
I like Pak supermarket on Wellgate in Rotherham. If I am ever Rotherham way I always call. Is quite big, has it's own car park and a large selection of fresh stuff you won't find many places. It's the only place I go for fresh methi leaves, bottle gourd and the okra is cheap. If you are spice shopping it might be worth a one off visit as you shouldn't need to re-supply for months. Other than that the stall in castle market or some small grocers in the firth park rd/page hall road area.

I'd second the Spar on Abbeydale Road (nr picture house). They have all you need, and sometimes the goods in the back, where all the spices are, are cheaper than the same thing in the front .. things like tins of chickpeas. Spices etc there are way cheaper than the supermarkets but come in really big bags!
Page Hall has an excellent shop names Khawaja & Sons (I think that is how it is spelt) they have a long set of shelves totally packed with spices and at very reasonable prices. The also sell carribbean produce and fresh scotch bonnet peppers.
I have even purchased Red carrots in there.
