Episode 665: Declutter Your Spice Cabinet: From Chaos to Cooking Bliss

In this episode of Clutter Free Academy, Kathi Lipp and Tonya Kubo tackle one of the most deceptively frustrating spots in your kitchen: the spice cabinet. If you’ve ever bought a second (or sixth) bottle of basil because you couldn’t find the first one, or had cumin avalanche onto your counter, this one’s for you. The duo shares budget-friendly, sanity-saving solutions to bring order and accessibility to your most flavorful clutter zone.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

  • Why your spices should spark joy—and scent
  • Kathi’s five-tiered spice strategy (yes, really!)
  • Creative storage options for tiny kitchens, RVs, and big Costco-sized bottles
  • How to group spices for ease: singles vs. blends
  • The $13 Amazon tool that might change your dinner routine forever

Plus, practical decluttering steps, advice for keeping only what you need, and strategies for maximizing every inch of your kitchen—no matter your cooking style or cabinet size. Stay tuned for tips to help you finally enjoy both cooking and your spice zone!
