A few years ago I also bought a really cheap blender at Wal-Mart thinking I'd be clever and save scads of money by making my own ground foam as well. It never got off the ground, so to speak... 
It just wasn't consistent, the foam was hard to grind and I gave up trying very quickly. For the quantity I needed it was probably cheaper in the long run to buy bags of it in the first place.
Oh, if you buy any spices at Costco or anywhere else in the large size, the shaker bottles from McCormick are the same size and shape with the same type of cap as the ones from Woodland Scenic. Now that where you'll save some bucks, You'll use vast quantities of spices for a while just to get the bottles empty quickly,
plus you'll save yourself the frustration of making the stuff in the first place.
Oh yeah, some spices are cheap enough so that you can buy it in those large bottles cheaper that WS sells the empty bottles at your LHS.
