If you want some new spice in your life…this company is the best!
44% Off Most Everything thru Sunday 4.12.
It needed saying. Four years ago we posted our “About Republicans” link right on the homepage. It’s been there ever since and clicked on over a couple million times.
A short excerpt:
“From the environment, to racism/discrimination, to health, to saving our democracy at home and growing it abroad, half the time Republicans are intentionally blocking the solution to the problems we face. The other half of the time they are the problem we face.”
Four years ago wasn’t today. The country hadn’t just swung 20 points away from the Republicans. Four years ago America was still buying what the Republicans were selling. But to get from there to here, this needed saying. And if not Penzeys, who?
Our “About Republicans” has cost us a lot of customers and brought us anger. But it’s brought us new customers, too, who actually care about those the Republicans are out to hurt. We are grateful.
To Celebrate! four years of surviving, and still being here thanks to you, this weekend we are having a blowout offer of 44% off everything other than Gift Cards, Saffron, and Vanilla.
In our stores, for 44% off most everything just show this post. Online at penzeys.com, simply enter ABOUT in the apply code box at checkout.
The ABOUT code works for all gift boxes, too. But we have an extra special deal on our Kind and Care gift boxes at just $10 each.
You can find all our gift boxes here: https://www.penzeys.com/shop/gift-boxes/?categoryId=217
Plus Spanish Smoked Paprika for just $2 in honor of the wisdom of the Spanish Prime Minster. “The Government of Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they show up with a bucket.” —PM P. Sánchez.
And a free $10.69 Penzeys Pepper with $86.47 in spending : )
We did what was right and said what needed to be said before most wanted to hear it. That cost us. If you could spend something with us now, or even just share this with others, that would help us grow and encourage others to speak out.
Thanks for cooking, and for caring about others, and for keeping us in business.
You are awesome,
Bill

About Republicans
We live in a time calling out for change and for solutions to the very real problems our country and our planet face. There’s two very different futures ahead for us totally dependent on whether we solve these problems or not.
Watching the slow decline of the Republican Party over the last half century, and the steep decline/bottom falling out over the last decade, it can be easy to see the nonsense that has overtaken the party as pretty much random.
Once you start seriously looking at the problems America and the world face and who and what are standing in the way of solving those problems, it quickly becomes clear there is nothing random to what the Republicans are promoting.
The Republican departure from conservative values and embrace of what, from a distance, looks a whole lot like insanity didn’t happen by chance. All of it has been intelligently crafted with the goal of preserving the position of those who profit from the inhumanity that is at the very roots of pretty much every problem we are facing.
From the environment, to racism/discrimination, to health, to saving our democracy at home and growing it abroad, half the time Republicans are intentionally blocking the solution to the problems we face. The other half of the time they are the problem we face.
The truth of our time is we’ve arrived at the point where there’s no way to respect the nonsense the Republican Party is promoting and have any hope of overcoming the problems we as a nation and we as a planet face.
Given the choice between saving America and planet Earth or saving the feelings of Republican voters, we are choosing to side with saving our country and our world. I’m sorry it’s come to this.
…Going forward we would still be glad to have you as customers, but we’re done pretending the Republican Party’s embrace of cruelty, racism, Covid lies, climate change denial, and threats to democracy are anything other than the risks they legitimately are.
If you need us to pretend you are not creating the hurt you are creating in order for you to continue to be our customer, I’m sad to say you might be happier elsewhere.
If on the other hand you still want the best spices and don’t need us to respect what you now vote for to be our customer, Hooray! We are happy to have you here, but know that we will, on a regular basis, try to wake you up from this dream that has you believing there is anything conservative left at all to what the Republican Party has become.
We can and will work without Republicans to solve the problems we face, but it sure would be nice to get back to a time where Republicans were equal defenders of equality, the environment, and democracy. We look forward to that day.
Thanks for reading. Thanks for being here,
Bill
