One of my cleaning projects in early Fall is to go through all my spices. If you've ever had (eaten) old mustard powder or old poultry seasoning, you probably do the same thing! Several years ago I stopped buying bottled spices and switched to these cute little jars that I fill from bulk spice bins. You can actually put a whole tablespoon measuring spoon in the opening which is a huge plus. There is no way you could do that with standard bottled spices. They hold 8 oz. which suits our families needs very well.
Dump out all the spices....just do it! (unless you
bought it!...like last week!)
I wash each on throughly and air dry completely.
All cleaned and filled with fresh spices. One way to tell if your spices are old is to compare the color of your current stock of spices to the color of your new spices. I spent under $15 buying new spices from bulk bins!
My cleaned and newly stocked Spice Cupboard! I use air-tight jars that are larger for spices such as cinnamon and cocoa powder (top right ). I also use lazy-susans to expand the space I do have & tiered shelving for my spices (bottom)

Some of my spices I don't use on an everyday bases, they are stored in ball Mason Jars.
