1. Go to http://www.stilltasty.com/ to make sure what you have on hand is still fresh as a daisy! Remove and replace any staples with new fresh spices.
2. Purchase containers (Ikea has some great options like a 4 pack of glass jars for under 5.00) for all of your spices plus at least 3 extra - they all need to be exactly the same with the exception of a larger size for your salts and peppers. Also - purchase a spice stacker ( the two that are in the picture below were purchased from Target) so that you can see all of your spices once labeled.
3. Fire up your labeler or you can purchase some from Mabels Labels (http://www.mabel.ca/) and label all of your spices, alphabetize them to find them easily. (In the picture below all of the salts and peppers are in larger containers on top to refill grinders etc, and the smaller glass jars on the bottom are for the spices.) Put any bulk items that you use less at the top and the alphabetized daily use spices at the bottom on the spice stacker.
4. I made this list for you:

Edit it for what you have and laminate it and use Velcro to stick to the inner cabinet and mark down when you run out. When you make a grocery run - just grab your "Out of Sheet" and run to the store!
