Organizing Spices - Enabling my OCD

March 8, 2013
zero-budget-project The OCD gal in me has been wanting to do this for ages. I have this strange obsession with unifying things. Like spices. I typically buy my spices in bulk, so they've not been pretty. Not at all. organize-spice-jar-1 Having these new jars around has been so nice. My house is a complete mess these days, so I can at least open up my cupboard here and see this pretty sight. IMG_6413 This is what it looked like before. A complete mess. And it took me forever to look for the right spices when I needed them. organize-spice-jar-3 I found these jars here, they're not actual spice jars, but I like that they're wider so I can actually fit my measuring spoons in and they were cheaper than the spice jars. It's not like it was a huge price difference, but I liked these. It seems like a really lame thing to spend money on, spice jars, but it's worth spending $20 to have a cupboard that's always neat and tidy. What little things to you spend money on to keep your home organized? I'd love to hear!
