Time to get organized!

Wow.  I refresh my spices annually, and my meager collection is expensive enough; you probably drop a house payment every 3 months!

@cazzy, I neglected to show one of the drawer hacks. I bake almost every day and like POS (point of use storage). The sections hold #5 dry - sugar, ap & bread flour. I purchase #25 bags and store the overflow in Cambro.

That is way cool @cazzy
my method is a large Rubbermaid tote with about 2 dozen bottles in it...the whole kitchen smells great when it comes out and gets opened!

That's pretty cool.  I don't think I would have thought about that.  I guess with you baking so much you don't have to worry about it going bad before you use it since it isn't in an air tight container.  I just don't bake enough to warrant that.

That rocks!!  No problem with weevils?

Ok @LetsEat makes me look like a spice/rub newby!

alphabetized would be a must.

I feel inferior.

Thanks @Cazzy. The layout is truly efficient for quick baking. No weevils, ants or bugs in 25 years!  I average #25 flour a week - bread, buns, cookies, cake, pie, pasta and of course pizza. That being said I utilize Cambro containers in repackaging. I have always kept wholewheat, rye and speciality flour in the freezer. I guess it's about time I start posting pictures

Oh, we need to see some of that, and get some recipes that aren't under lock and key!

I was going to say earlier "Weevils wobble, but they don't fall down!" Except I hadn't had enough to drink yet.  Problem solved.

I bought myself some of the Vertical Spice organizers when we moved into the new house - not cheap by any means, but super well built and forces even the wife to keep things organized.

Here's a YouTube demo of them: https://youtu.be/CFRxqeqjzh0

Will you adopt me????

@GATtravellor ^^^ I've already adopted 3 children but you and others are welcome anytime to cook & party!  My indoor & outdoor kitchens are always filled with friends. I promise to snap photos of my next Egg cooks

  You can take the container and zero it out, and not even deal with the bags.

What do you mean by this? 

@DoubleEgger    The brick and mortar stores are really cool to visit. You purchase in quantities that meet your needs. Many blends also for sale....or mix your own. I am sure there are other spice stores that sell from bulk as well.http://spiceandtea.com/

These work pretty well in my small kitchen. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009KZYWXW/

This set-up  of two side by side will hold 36 bottles of spice and the rest that aren't used as much are in the pantry on a spice turntable. The trays pull out and tilt down for easy access. They make different sizes to fit most cabinets.

Pretty writing! 

And great idea....I would only need 10 jars or so and may do this. I got stuff spilling all over the place.
