Give me your best spice rack organizers 🌶️

You're all slowly inspiring me to keep things a bit more tidy behind the scenes at home (yay!). During a recent cabinet cleaning, I realized that my spices are a mess! I have some on a lazy Susan next to the stovetop, and the rest are in a cabinet. What are the best spice rack organizers you all love and use? Something like this below intrigues me, but I'd love to hear what's working for you

    OOH I love that organizer, i've never seen that one before!! I love it! Now I want one of those!
    I use two drawers in my kitchen, for all my spices. One drawer has cooking spices in it, and the other drawer has baking spices in it. I like being able to see their labels all at a glance. I dislike those types of spice organizers that one has to actually lift each jar up to see what it IS.
    I use leaves, plants and minced up veggies more and more, instead of jar spices so two kitchen drawers does hold all my spice jars.

    Like a lot of people, I’ve tried numerous spice storage ideas. I have very limited cupboards and drawers that barely hold cutlery. This is what I have now.

    Is it possible to have the source for the posted spice organizer. Thanks!

    This is so clever, Mary! I love that it doesn't take up any counter or drawer space

    OH wow, so they are all magnets? Are the names of each spice written onto the jars somewhere?

    Above I showed my herbs and spices in magnetic containers attached to my fridge. It was working for a couple of years, but a bit awkward to reach. Over the years I’ve tried numerous storage ideas. Living in a small condo, cooking mainly for one, I don’t need 25 jars and nowhere to keep them organized. I came up with this idea. I buy herbs & spices from the bulk store in small quantities. I got test tubes each one holds 2 - 3 Tbsp, which is more than enough for my needs. Then got a clear plastic organizer meant for coloured markers. Spices & Herbs are best stored away from direct light. So I got a box that holds the organizer. Alphabetical order. I can keep the box anywhere, in a cupboard or out in the open. Not obvious it is a spine container. I’m so happy with this. Cost: $13.00 to replace all herbs & spices. $12.00 for 50 test tubes. $24.00 for the box. Extra test tubes are kept on the organizer.

    sorry missed your comment. Used chalk marker to write on top. Yes bottoms are magnetic

    This is so cool! I love that both this version and your previous way of storing spices is so unique. The fact that these tubes fit perfectly in what's supposed to be a colored marker case is genius 👏

    @DanielaAraya I keep it really simple — I have a 3-tiered spice organizer that's dark metal so it's easy to keep clean. But I love all these organizing ideas!

    It doesn't hold all my spices, but one of my favorite new organizers is this one from Yamazaki. It's magnetic so it stick to the fridge (and doesn't budget) without taking up any counter space, and it's really handy for keep my favorite spices in easy reach. The rest I keep in a kitchen island drawer, which could certainly use some more organizaiton :)
