Contrary to popular belief, spices should never be stored above the stove. It's likely your first-time home buyer may not own a spice rack nor quality spices, simply because most people starting out buy their spices at the grocery store.

You don't have to go to Granada to find quality spices, but it's rare to find them in a supermarket. Some cities have retail outlets such as Penzeys within driving distance; you may need to shop online. These types of spices may cost a little more, but the difference in the taste and smell is dramatic.
