For me I have always made my own rubs. However spices do go stale even if they are vacuum packed. I don't think I can get spices fresher than the big boys just because of quantity. Especially this time of year those rubs will just sit there waiting for fair weather. Cost sure you can make your own cheaper than buying the ready made. I put a mark on the lid of one of Emerill's rubs last spring and the bottle is still on the shelf. I am going to switch to ready made rubs from one or more of the sponsors of this site. I and my guests want the best so a few bucks wont make any difference to me.
