I've done this for several years. The first time my sister saw it she figured I had too much time on my hands. I didn't want to argue but I don't think she realizes how much time it does save. Glad to hear someone else does it too!

I alphabetize my canned goods and that way I know just how much I have of something and may/may not need to buy next grocery trip. I also separate ground spices from whole spices on lazy susans and the flavored extracts and food colorings on another along with baking powder and soda, salt and pepper. Whether it's a baking project or mealtime preparation, this works well for me as searching is quick.

I agree 100%. You're simply saving time and being organized. I have about 40-50 spices, and they are all stored alphabetically, resting on horizontal shelving inside a large kitchen drawer. Now I also alphabetize my DVDs , CDs and Albums, LOL, but that's another story...

I 'loosely' alphabetize my spices to fit on 2 Lazy Susans, don't have much room, but even dividing A-H and I-Z helps alot.

Is their any other way. lol I thought every organized personality did that. ha I have done that for years and you are so right. It save time, money, and looks so organized in your cabinet. Keep going I also organize my can goods. Beans, Corn, Greens etc.
