But if I did that I’d still 1) be throwing away the grinder I already have, which is the main thing I’m trying to avoid. 2) Either have to pay more for peppercorns to refill it than it costs to buy one with a grinder, or still buy the ones with the grinder and have to toss the grinders, which again is what I’m trying to avoid.

Well, Trader Joe’s and Target are the two closest stores to my house, so that is where I to the vast majority of my shopping (Target is where more expensive no grinder peppercorns are). I don’t really want to go to a more distant store just for pepper. And I admit I didn’t didn’t think of checking Amazon, but I feel like buying such a large quantity at once wouldn’t be a good idea, since it would lose their freshness long before I could get through that much pepper.
