Leave them in the jars they come in. You can keep check on the expiry date also, if they are left in their original jar.

In the old days, herbs & spices were in little boxes, so it was best to transfer them to another container/jar.

So how do you rack and stack em?

Good Points about the expiry dates AM

I have started to use labeled ziplock bags in timber draws, they are easier to find and take up a lot less space.

So far so good, I do a lot of indian and thai cooking so small containers are no good and large containers (I used to store in glass jars) but it would take me forever finding things, I have a timber cabinet in the kitchen with slim draws so I can line them up, I just use a teaspoon to get stuff out if I need to but generally I don't measure I just poor out what I need.

Crikey, in a ziplock you could just open one side a little and tip some out, no problem 🙂

I am in a frequent "i hate cooking" mood, usually lasts 1 - 2 months every now and again, so i don't care.
