The price of each spice is the same in both stores based on VIP level, but the Spice Booth only sells 6 spices in limited quantities (≤15), whereas the VIP store sells all spices in larger quantities (≤30).
The VIP Store is only available to players VIP 2 and above. VIP players may also get discounts on spices from the stores depending on their VIP level.

Storage[]
Spices are stored in the Spice Box, which players can purchase for 280 coins. You must first purchase the Spice Box to unlock the ability to store spices; however, you can put the box in the Storehouse afterward to save counter space.
The box has 12 slots that can hold 10 spices of the same type in each slot, but only 3 slots are initially unlocked. Unlocking the remaining slots will cost diamonds, except in the second spice box available to VIP 7 players which costs rubies. Some VIP players will also get a discount when purchasing new slots and the ability to store an increased number of spices per slot (see VIP for more details).

Excess spices and donating[]
Any extra spices that cannot fit in the spice box will have to be deleted. However, once you have unlocked all 12 slots in the first spice box, you will have the opportunity to donate any excess spices directly from the spice box to your township's Treasury, assuming you are in one. The number of diamonds that will be donated to the Treasury for spices is less than their price in the Spice Store.
