Unless you're already gardening, growing and drying your own herbs isn't going to save anything, and most spices can't be grown by ordinary gardeners.
I bought a jar of Italian mix at my local dollar store seven years ago, and I'm just reaching the bottom, with the scent and taste still quite strong. Keep in a dark place and away from heat for longevity. Any time I need a replacement I look first at the dollar store, and second, at the Rite Aid drug store. Not exactly the usual source, but worth checking out. The selection varies at both, and you may not always find what you want, but when you do, the savings are significant.
