Best place online to buy bulk grains?

I read through cbayer's thread about online buying, and I'd like to order a few items that are ridiculously expensive here (I love quinoa, but do NOT want to buy less than a pound for $7....)

We have a great, local Asian food store that carries almost every rice you could dream of, but no bulghur, no quinoa...

What's a fair price for quinoa?

Thanks for any recommendations...

I am using them for lots of things and am really pleased so far.

I paid the yearly fee to become a prime member, and am getting free 2 day shipping.

Just a quick look at the site shows quinoa at about $4/pound

and bulgur for $3 - 4/pound.

(not sure if these links will work, as I was signed into the site when I did the search).

I check Amazon for almost everything - I get the absolute best price on Advantage for my cats at Amazon ...

The variety offered is great; just wondering if there are any other options!
