im not sure which brand of nutes youre referring to, but i use Sea Grow All Purpose in veg and their Bloom for flower. Its a "powder" type of nute and it works well for me. i bought one 1.5lb container of each, almost a year ago and i still have plenty left. i do believe the shelf life to be longer than that of most liquid nutes. One thing to consider is that it takes just a bit more effort to mix than liquid nutes, but not enough for me to worry about. i add my nutes to the water and bubble for 24hours and its ready to go.

As for dry nutes being more cost effective versus liquid nutes...i paid around $25USD including shipping for both 1.5lb containers and a liter bottle of Liquid Kelp and i still have plenty of them all left. It has been a tremendous savings for me. It all comes down to what works for you and your preference...im sure there are plenty of inexpensive liquid nutes that will last a long time too.

Theres a thread around here somewhere on the Seagrow 4-24-24 if you want some more info on it. Or you can ask me or one of the other growers here that use it too
