Declutter With Me || 2023 Edition || Spice Cabinet ||

[@angelaclay5064]

We have lived in our house almost 20 years. We sold and I’ve been packing, decluttering and donating. Not to mention the amount of trash! Sophia, I love you and couldn’t do this without you! Keep up the hard work and thank you for being REAL!! 🥰😘♥️

[@mygreatchallenge]

That is awesome! Thank you!

[@ashlinielson2578]

👏 Putting the bottles in a basket that’s easy to wash is so smart! 👏 ❤ Unless refilling a glass spice jar the plastic bag spices are just a big mess.

[@chanteewright-kidd8629]

I have a small kitchen and bought a clear acrylic turntable with no dividers that has a couple inch height around edges for all my oils and sprays so they don't fall when I turn it. I keep that above my stove. In the cabinet next to my stove I got the turntables with the rubber bottom with no dividers for my spices. I have 3 turntables for all my spices where I can see them with only a couple things in the center. I never have to pull out the turntable as I can see everything I have. I also have my most used on the lowest shelf and the others are separated by type like Mexican seasonings, Italian, seafood, etc. For the baking items like baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla, etc I put in a separate acrylic tote that I can pull out. I keep all my bigger items up on the top shelf next to the pull-out acrylic totes. They all keep me organized and I love it.

[@kathymackenzie6763]

I finished my office and am almost half done my craft room. Yes this is motivating me . I am loving this 😍 You are doing great 👍 Love & prayers ❤️ 🙏🏻

[@kathleensmith79]

I would use the big one for all the baking stuff you don't use everyday like cookie sprinkles baking powder 10X sugar ect.

[@angelar5145]

I use the place mats from the Dollar Tree. I cut them down and put them on shelves and under appliances. They have pretty ones. I also use one as a desk blotter. Good job on the spices. I have to have mine on a hanging wire rack on the back of my pantry door. I have no cabinet space but the rack works well as I can see everything and they are eye level. I just watched the Photoshop tutorial on Patreon. LOVED it! Please do more of those! I hate that I will miss the LIVE with you on Saturday. Give everyone my best! 💕

[@mygreatchallenge]

I am going to look into that.

[@niksand1713]

Great! I used plastic magazine storage bins from the Dollar store in some of my cabinets. Just an idea for narrow spaces.

[@ACGNikki]

boiling water - good thinking!!

[@lorieann8522]

4x a year is how often I do my baking/cooking shelves. So every season. I have a 3 level stand and 1 lazy Susan for my spices and herbs. Then the other 2 shelves have clear containers. One has cookie cutters, one has my Kitchenaid Stand Mixer attachments, another has baking items, and the last one has my hand mixer, immersion blender, potato masher. I check for spills and loose herbs and what not every time I open the cabinet for quick clean up.

[@maryannpapandrea3086]

I use Small metal clothes pins from the dollar store to close small packets.

[@angelsbecca]

I use old calender pictures as liner . Like seeing the art work

[@mygreatchallenge]

That s a good idea and why not!

[@lorenet.2182]

Great job. I started refrigerating my sesame oil. Really helps.

[@jreyes9924]

I use dollar tree placemats easy to wipe for shelf liners

[@jennifersershen927]

I have two lazy susans; 1 for spices and one for oils. Found that best to buy smaller sizes as the tall bottle won’t work on top of the lazy Susan.

[@sherryhudson9075]

I find it helpful to keep all of my baking items together in a basket. The baking powder and soda, vanilla, cornstarch, cinnamon, ginger, allspice etc.

[@CreativeHomescaping]

Thank you for keeping it real! I now have my spices mounted in racks on walls next to my stove but I used to have some racks that attached to the inside of cabinet doors. It was easy to see what I had in smaller bottles that way. The bigger bottles went on the shelf on a lazy Susan.

[@mygreatchallenge]

I have been looking into those as well

[@wendajones9040]

In England we use the short form: Wooster sauce

[@shelbyshaw9319]

Great video! I use dollar tree placemats in my cupboards. They’re easy to cut to size, lay flat and easy to clean or replace.

[@kiakreates]

Great idea!

[@angelar5145]

Great minds... Shelby! I do the same. They have such pretty designs.

[@joycemoody9246]

I’ve been using the plastic placemats from the Dollar Tree as shelf liners for a couple of years now. I cut them to size and they are easy to clean and work very well.

[@joycemoody9246]

And I use leftover flooring in the cabinet under my sink. Peel and stick tiles would work well too.

[@laurac56]

I sometimes long to be one of those kitchens with just salt, pepper, and garlic powder. I wonder if I would miss the rest. I could just stop cooking. 😉

[@carolbabb7875]

I love dragon fly's too. My daughter gave me a tea mug with strainer and cover. The mug has dragon fly's on it so it's my favorite. My spice's are a big mess too and next on my list. Did the silver and utensil drawer last week. I use wax paper taped in place for a liner in a pinch for some areas.

[@aprilhoover3481]

This is the realest cleaning video I have ever seen! The zoom shot of the crumblies and stickies was wonderful!

[@annie270375]

Hi sofia..I'm from malaysia..its a public holiday here today and I woke up at 5am..didn't know what to do....watched your videos and u inspired me to clean up my kitchen cabinets....thanks babe for getting me started

[@mygreatchallenge]

Excellent. Enjoy your holiday!

[@lorieann8522]

I also only keep spices and herbs I use regularly.

[@traceybradshaw]

My son is a supermarket manager and I asked him and his girlfriend to clean out my pantry (including my spices etc) when we were packing up ready for our kitchen renovations. I knew they would be much more ruthless than I would and get rid of all of the dried herbs and spices that were past due (because I just keep using them knowing they’ve probably just lost some flavour). I don’t know exactly what I have left, but I guess I can do a stock take when we unpack, restocking things as we need them. I have new pull out drawers in my pantry so nothing gets lost at the back and I end up doubling up when I can’t find things.

[@llmobile9356]

Hi Sofia, I found great shelf liners at Ikea. Target and Walmart have them also. The liner is a plastic and removable which you can wipe clean. They are a clear plastic and easy to find in the kitchen department. Also, I purchased one specifically made to go under the kitchen sink (at Target), it's grey and will be labeled as such. Putting away dishes is easy because the liner doesn't move, unlike the Dollar Tree ones. It will protect your cabinets. Hope this helps.

[@tashainjena]

Dollar Tree placemats work well... Shelf liner is probably cheaper, but I got the placemats for the fridge. Also, tool chest liner works great, too. I stumbled on that gem by accident.

[@melindaonamission9511]

I use a long horizontal pull out drawer for all my spices. I have many more than you do but I limit myself to this drawer. I do have a bin of spice backups in large containers high up in my pantry. I probably have one hundred different spices! For oils and vinegars I use two lazy Susans in my bottom pantry which is taller. If I had them in the top they would get lost because I'm short! Great job !

[@mygreatchallenge]

From the sound of it, you probably have a newer kitchen design than me. My kitchen was renovated in the early 90s, also the narrowness does provide space for longer and wider drawers. That s something I am keeping in mind if I ever redesign. I would also like tall skinny drawers for platters and cookie sheets...ah one can dream!

[@kandisue1753]

Here is a great way to organize spices in a cupboard: You will need 2 round metal cake pans 1 bag of marbles. In the 1st pan place 1/2 bag of marbles, then place the remaining cake pan on top..you created a lazy susan. Place jarred spices with labels facing out...give it a spin!

[@mygreatchallenge]

Just trying to be practical and economical here. Would it not cost more to get two cake pans and marbles? I know I could use old cake pans, but I don't really have them on hand. Haven't seen a marble in years. But you gave me an idea for a bathroom organization hack for under the sink supplies!

[@zeldapepa3992]

Regarding baskets for your spices (or anywhere else). I have found that if you trim the edges back on the baskets, you can make them fit into your spaces and be able to get them out easier. Fortunately, my partner is a whizz with a grinder so he does that for me. Some plastics you can cut with a craft knife, others are too thick. Perhaps a dremel tool? I get really frustrated when it's just millimetres too tight!

[@Katydidit]

I am a new subscriber. Love your sense of humour and the fact that you rarely seem to overthink the process. I need to re organize my spice cabinet as well! I use the long, narrow shallow baskets you find at Dollar Tree for the small bottles of spices. I have 3 times the spices you have, I laughed out loud when you said you had so many!! I also almost never purchase large bottles of anything, chopped onions, and granulated garlic perhaps. I label my baskets w tape on the front... as in Italian spices, and Mexican spices, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, etc. (I cook from scratch most days) That way I can just slide out the bin of 5 or 6 bottles and choose the ones I need. I also use wire shelves to stack the baskets and bins to double my cabinet space. The bottles are always the challenge!! Looking forward to see how you handle things like holiday decor and other miscellaneous. We all have such different sized spaces to deal with!

[@mygreatchallenge]

Sounds pretty organized to me. Good job!

[@NormalnotNormal1234]

Sophia you can use one of the jars you are throwing out to put your baking soda. I just went through my spices a few weeks ago. I would say maybe... once a year.

[@christinedisneyqueen5746]

Thanks for the kick! 😁

[@mygreatchallenge]

You bet!

[@GoingGreenMom]

If you wanted an easily removable liner, I bought some silicone liners for my oven, came in a 4 pack, I cut 1 down for the toaster oven, but I bet the other 2 would work well in cabinets. Pack of 4 was only 12 dollars. That said, I did my spices for the first time 2 years ago. I got rid of the out of date stuff. If it wasn't used in the allotted time frame, I probably wasn't using it enough to stock (and in reality, some had been inherited from my Grandmother and Parents as they passed, and very few that I had saved had I ever used). That cleared a huge amount of space. Like one entire side of the double cabinets above the stove. I put some baking pans there, and saved some "matching" jars for future to upgrade plastic containers. My glass really don't match, but they are glass. Over time I have started buying spices from Azure standard or in deli type containers from a local Amish grocery. I have a "backstock" area in a different cabinet (would be like your top shelf I expect). My goal right now is to get to the point I have all glass containers that have labels and to have a year of backstock. That is a bit of a moving target since I'm cooking and making more these days, but I've worked through duplicates in the last year and pretty soon all of the spices will fit in the little spice area under the cabinet (in use, not backstock).

[@deasonica]

I love the thumbnail 🤣

[@susannels4884]

Instead of the bottles being dangerously high and heavy like that could they not go in the bottom shelf of the matching cupboard on the other side of the microwave. And then something lighter or less used on that top shelf? You don't need to injure yourself getting that heavy basket down. Then your spices and oil and sauces are all within reach on both sides of the stove. You've inspired me to go thru my spice cabinet

[@mygreatchallenge]

That s where I keep my cookbooks.

[@lilisulastrizainalabidin2330]

Oh wow! You have a lot more spices than I do.

[@mygreatchallenge]

We cook a lot and a variety of meals.

[@chervanmaren6495]

You definitely have inspired me to declutter. I’ve been going through my closets and dresser drawers, and I keep hearing your voice say, “I can let that go.” I listened to that voice, and just took five boxes of stuff to Goodwill. It’s a great feeling to get rid of things I know that I’ll never use again. Thank you for your inspiring videos!!! I look forward to watching more of your videos!!!

[@DawnEmmie]

You are definitely inspiring me to tackle these much needed tasks! 2023 is the year I too am going into every nook and cranny. If it makes you or anyone feel better, my spice cabinet is so overdue, I have spices living on my counter and that needs to stop! Lol. Keep ‘‘em coming, Sophia! We appreciate all that you do and share with us 😊

[@jeanfitzsimmons2258]

This was fun to watch & see that someone else did there's too this past month... had my brother help me...couldn't of done it alone....Had way too many doubles we married and re labeled...into matching containers...lol..

[@suzismith9681]

Oh my......so this is what I do. All the spices and herbs go in the same jars. All are clearly labeled. All go in racks screwed to the pantry wall ,one above the other. I could see your set up as done like this.....a shelf screwed to the door so the door shuts. More little shelves to the walls with turntable for the tall bottles. I arranged mine so that what I cook together are on the same shelf. I have a need to keep my kitchen tidy , only because it takes too long looking for things. I've had a leg injury and can't spend too long standing in one place. That was the necessity to find a system that works. I sincerely hope you find something that works for you. Enjoy your chanel and love how you explain the process. Take care and blessings on you and your family. Xx

[@freckledcrafts86]

The tall bottles go up high in the plastic magazine boxes so I can pull out a whole group to get what I want

[@mygreatchallenge]

Yep that s pretty much what I did with the basket on top. It's much easier that way.

[@Yvonneb_]

I have a spice rack that fastens on the inside of the cupboard door, I've had it years. X x

[@mygreatchallenge]

I was wondering about those. That might be a solution for us.b

[@jamiekonz9151]

I don’t do the liners anymore on my cabinets I use placemats. You can buy them at the dollar tree or Walmart for a good price and you just set them in there. Sometimes you have to cut them down to size but I love that I can just pull it out and wash it and pop it back in. I also use them in my fridge.

[@mygreatchallenge]

You should try the stepped plastic shelves for your spices so you can see each row above the one below....take out the middle shelf....also I use vinyl wall paper on my shelves..i wet it like normal and it sticks and doesn't bunch up when you move something.

[@mygreatchallenge]

We had those shelves early on, they actually take more space and you can't keep as much spices in one cabinet. So we ditched them.

[@jackiefoster9897]

Suggestion : Add pull out spice racks to your cabinets It's saves lots of space and can also help with tall things with a pull out rack for those things too

[@briteddy9759]

I have a spice cabinet also. It is a challenge to keep organized. The door has shelves for spice jars, but it is not enough to contain everything. Containers help corralling everything. Most of my spices and herbs come from the local food coop in small plastic bags, so I sort them into the containers by category. I put plastic lid under my honey. I don’t know why the honey always find it’s way down the side of the jar, but it does! My spice cabinet is not suitable for a magazine spread, but I can find what I am looking for!

[@Freakychef07]

I purchased a set of clear glass spice jars on Amazon and decanted my spices into those and labeled them all ...now granted I do have some in larger quantities that I kept in different air tight containers and I have to store overflow in my pantry but it has been a game changer!! It may not work for everyone but it might be worth a shot

[@mygreatchallenge]

See, if I did that, the leftovers would be forgotten for a decade. You jave to know who you are.

[@Freakychef07]

Way to go!

[@marilynvelez8147]

Sophia you asked about spice organization and oils. I like you, have a cabinet on either side of my stove on the left side it's all dedicated to spices and mixes. The right side of the stove cabinet is dedicated to all oils and vinegars. I was lucky to have been stationed in Japan and at the 100 yen store long ago the japanese house wifes were using flat plastic trays to orgainze their fridges and cabinets such a great idea I've been doing that ever since. What I'm amazed at is I still have them and use them.

[@nunne8]

I always have problems storing my seasoning I had them laying in a draw that didn't work I had them in the cabinet by the stove that didn't work I just put them in a new cabinet we will see how long it last

[@brendarobertson7206]

I have 2 boot box tops that work as sliding drawers on shelves of a sort for the spices, the best thing I have done is label the tops and fronts of each spice (masking tape and sharpie) for easy ID, the front box holds always used and the back or second box top is for less used, Used the same boot or shoe boxes for the soy sauce etc. Contact paper is the best shelf liner for me placed without the backing removed because it lifts easily and is moisture repellent. You could trim the lip off of those green baskets to make them fit together on the same shelf. Top spices for us salt, pepper, garlic and onion salt and powder, Italian seasoning, oregano, cumin, paprika, cinnamon, ginger, minced garlic and onion, cayenne and red pepper flakes. I do keep the open pouches from boxed meals in one baggie.

[@reginabeasley872]

Funny you should ask I just did my spice cabinet and have a lazy Susan holding the spices

[@jojogeee1]

I take a Sharpie and put the name of the spice on the lid. This way I don’t have to pull out each spice jar to identify it.

[@MsArtistwannabe]

I keep syrup and sauces in the fridge. Leaves more room to maneuver with the spices. Then I have a step shelf that helps quite a bit. I use lazy Susan for vinegars and oils. It helps that I have them set up on each side of the stove in the upper cabinets. I do tend to group them in categories ie, Asian or Italian mostly.

[@lhallissey]

[@rutheis]

Hi Sofia, my husband and I are renters and live in California. We have moved a LOT! We have had the same shelf liners since 2010 and have moved twice since then. We have been able to take our shelf liners with us. Sometimes we have to cut them to fit, or use two together in somewhere that doesn't get a lot of activity, but we love them. I got the first set at Bed Bath and Beyond and then found them at Costco when we moved and had more cabinets to line. They are really great and don't melt into the cabinets - at least in my experience. They are called Con-Tact Ribbed Clear Premium Shelf Liner. I feel they are reasonably priced.

[@mygreatchallenge]

Thank you

[@barbaravoneitzen7729]

You did a great job . Maybe a turntable on the top for the heavy stuff.

[@bellaluna321]

As for spices,if the containers don't end up working, what we did was get one of those step organization things with three platforms/risers and made labels for bottles that went on the back platform so the names could be seen better. It's worked for us but if your shelf is high I imagine the containers will be easier to reach

[@kimberlydavis2527]

Put labels on the top of your lids

[@irenek2k20]

Fyi make it easy on yourself & use basket to carry over all the spices to table.

[@angeladroesbeke415]

For the doubles with different expiration dates, if you stock one on a top shelf, may I suggest getting a simple sheet of paper and writing what you have already and stick it on the back of the door. When you do reach for that jar, cross it off your list so you know that you will need to repurchase 😊

[@patkern185]

May I add to this helpful suggestion that the list be broken down by each shelf and items listed in alphabetical order because you can only see the front spices in your carousel and the taller bottles but not what's behind the front row. At least with the list, you would know what container and which shelf to find and replace your items. Attach a pen or pencil on a string to keep your list current.

[@phoenixrising2517]

I keep all my spices in small Mason jars in one cabernet and on the other side of the stove I keep all oils, not refrigerated sauces, honey...

[@nancypeteja6560]

You did a phenomenal job cleaning up your spice cupboard. I separate mine by Herbs, Spices, & Baking. You have your vanilla extract in your carousel but it should be with baking. Molasses, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder & baking soda and dry yeast in one container. Herbs...anything green such as parsley, oregano, basil, bay leaf, sage, rosemary, thyme...etc together. Then spices cumin, paprika, dry mustard, etc...together. oils & vinegars. Put all your hot sauces in the carousel. I think using the baskets will help alot and stop the duplications!!👍❤

[@mygreatchallenge]

It does not work for us. I understand categories are helpful for a lot of people but I tried and stuff was forgotten and repurchased in doubles because the category we needed was not in the same space than the rest. Don't know if that makes sense.
