I wish now that I hadn’t thrown out the old containers as I probably could have come close to theirs just by looking at their list of ingredients and rummaging around in my spice cabinet to make my own similar blend.

Both of you are more knowledgable than I on spices, but if I may throw in my 2 cents, I stock up on my spices when I visit an Amish store. They sell in larger sizes, and can actually sell in any amount that you may want. The prices really beat the grocery stores by a mile. But, they are not likely to have all those Asian spices, Mexican, or other specialty items.

Amish stores are surprizingly more common than you may first think, many are in areas that contain no Amish community. And some have webpages where you can shop from home, of course shipping and handling come into play here. Some Amish stores are actually Menenite or neither, as in the case of the first one that I visited, they are just connected to Amish/Menenite producers.

Just my take on buying herbs and spices.
