Was planning on making some cinnamon rolls later and got flashbanged by these things at $4 A JAR.
I’ve never used actual vanilla beans before and honestly figured I never would since they’re so expensive but I feel like I could do a flip rn🥹

Yeaaaah the real stuff is expensive. If you have Costco in your area and are willing to pay the fee I’ve heard of them having a jar of vanilla paste or something similar.
Also CADIA STANDS
They are grown in Madagascar making them grade A so I’d definitely buy them ! Great deal
I’ve never used a whole bean, but once you’re done with the seeds, put the pod in your sugar. I think it has no expiration date. I’d put the pod in a smaller container, because you will get the essence through all your sugar. Great find! Where did you buy it?
I make vanilla extract and buy the beans in bulk. If you are willing to buy 10 or more beans at a time your can get them for half that price or less.
[vanilla beans at Amazon ](https://www.amazon.com/Premium-Madagascar-Vanilla-Planifolia-Kings/dp/B084T8WGWW/ref=sr_1_7?crid=365N6YA85OQJX&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.uPBNicM0lsXRxMZ8iTCQrG2OF5xs64lEqUoV7yVqfYoMkEFH6zvqwO6JW4Js5ctSksESG1ndm62duuoEx7O7vuhKFeuU1XDD4OgJmW9eT7UynBZdLHMkJonSQQ_lUcrPCRjF2iqD7IjmVYMkIVC2d9v54vXp8bQp69SI3uqtbhoGnw-HnwNAGHMAVuy098nbMUOt2A2fgmI-8qRXhbSUXckwP4G9pqM5UMjmmkOJzqDWyxDIQQt5JbkbIw7zuTMWxkLNBv2rNCOeSsSUCARjdzf-IXOy4Gi9NAwl1Ql1u0A.HGAmu7fxqOWxYCbcLYZXR58h_iR7u_S4NjVnAhzrTus&dib_tag=se&keywords=vanilla%2Bbeans&qid=1760654469&rdc=1&sprefix=vanilla%2Bbeans%2Caps%2C136&sr=8-7&th=1)
Stock up before they’re gone you’ll never see that price again!
It’s even cheaper if you buy in bulk online. I bought from IndriVanilla through their coop, which offers a different variety every week or so at a reduced price per ounce. Like 1 oz Madagascar beans cost $7 + shipping.
Also, if you have Costco membership, they usually sell vanilla beans around this time of year. Last year I think they had $20 beans for $15? Worth keeping an eye out.
wow! lucky you!
I’m well versed in import paperwork and have some contacts abroad, so I *used to* do my own importing…
With the loss of the de minimus exemption though I feel that time is gone
Vanilla bean kings is clutch if you want pods! I order beans twice a year to make my own extract
Is it weird that I’m a little jelly?
So Cadia still stands.
Amazing! When does it expire?
Good deal but i buy lower grade splits at like probably 15 a pound or maybe it was 30 but basically super cheap lol they work just as good for extract
time to make vanilla extract! you can use different types of alcohol too, rum and bourbon both make for a really delicious extract- play around with your favorite drinks!
You did hit the vanilla Lotto
did you clear put the whole shelf of it? i would have
You have!!! Buy them
You did hit the (vanilla bean) lotto!
What store is this????
This happened to me once and I felt like I had done a bump of coke, I was so stoked, I bought them all and made vanilla.
You did!
Great deal indeed!!!
Savor the moment! It’s rare these days to find an amazing deal! Congratulations! 🎉🎉🎉
It is so delicious in homemade crème brûlée or ice cream… or mostly anything, really
Update: uhhh
The one I bought expired in February 2024. I went back to see if they had any fresher ones but the majority of them are from 2023🥲 I wanna use some for some eggnog soon but I’m not sure if I should buy some more or not
Add some vodka and make your own extract!
I would buy at least 5 of them.
Honestly, as a pastry guy, I would be that asshole who buys it all l. Thats a great deal.
Nah take your wins when you get them lol
What store is this??
