As Bill S. used say: "To make your own or to buy premade: ay, there's the rub!

If you have a vacuum sealer, you can store rub and/or spices indefinitely. It will not clump or lose any flavor. I have some vac sealed from 3 years ago, used it on 2 butts last weekend, taste like it just came out of the container. So, buy all you want and seal away.

I have an entire shelf of stuff I don't like because id buy a bottle to try it. that gets expensive.

Mix a couple of them together or add something to them and you might find something that you like.

Rubs are fine its the non-prime shipped rubs that burn your wallet. $7 for a bottle then another $7 to ship.

You still pay for shipping with prime lol. It's just built into the price.

Ehh, you only need a few spices...

and maybe a few others not pictured...

You pay some of it - not all of it. It is still cheaper.

I mix my own, but bulk spices and rubs last a long time in ziplock bags in the freezer, so long as you expel as much air as possible.
The rubs I make use stuff we keep around anyways, so ingredients don't have a chance to get too old. It's a rare week that replacement spices and herbs aren't on the shopping list.

This is what I do. Store them in glass jars in the freezer. I use the spices in other cooks, so they don't really last that long.
