A good idea to date those dry spices that you get in jars.
My spice shelves were getting overloaded so I had a cleanup. I found some jars from a store that went out of business some 10 years ago.

I keep cloves, ginger (powdered, I use fresh also) and nutmeg in the fridge, also cinnamon because I buy pint containers.

In our cold climate, it is difficult to raise some common spices. Oregano is one we grow, it needs little care since it seeds before frost, also lovage.

Kitchen re-do- Tile and stone lovers can get bargains, often cheaper than vinyl, etc., because builders buy more than needed, and the extra is available from the suppliers.
