they have an entire wall of bulk spices; you measure out what you need in a little bag, weigh it and print a lable and you are good to go. Saves an enormous amount of money and you can keep your spices fresh. There are lots of other bulk things: candy, rice, beans, pasta, granolas, teas, dried fruit, oatmeal, and more. You can even grind peanuts or almonds to make peanut or almond butter.

Also look at produce. You can ask one of the workers (aka 'foodies') to cut up an apple if you want to know what it tastes like and they will happily comply. It is truly a unique shopping experience.
There are only 10 stores, all in Texas. Before the Ft Worth store opened, folks used to take coolers and drive to Austin (3 hours) to shop at their Central Market!
