Mix Your Own Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix

Pumpkin Pie Spice is obscenely expensive.  And we are fast approaching Pumpkin Pie, Pumpkin Bread, Pumpkin 'Everything' season so whattaya do (that was a rhetorical question)?  I'll tell you what I did:  I went to a Dollar Store and bought  2 oz. jars of each: Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Ginger, All Spice & Ground Clove for $1 each. Total:  10 oz. of spices for $5. 

1.12 oz. For $4.98
