Storing Spices


I have very limited cupboard space so I have to use what I have available wisely. I have a ton of spices and have never had a good way of organizing them until now. I bought these plastic bins at Wal-Mart for 3/$1.00. I wrote the names of each spice on the top of the lid and put them in these baskets. Now, I just have to pull out the basket and choose what I want. The baskets are tall enough that they cover the small sized spices so I can stack them up creating even more room in my cupboard. Works for me!

To see what works for others visit Works for Me Wednesday over at We are That Family.

  3. When we remodeled the kitchen we ended up with a spice cabinet that is exactly the width of those baskets so I've always used them for spices too. They also come in handy for food colorings, sprinkles, and birthday candles. My entire medicine cabinet is organized with them too. I LOVE those little baskets...I see we share the same addiction!
