We have many options for buying spices in bulk so that is what we do. There are some we go through very quickly like cumin and curry. Others not so much. I have two small lazy susans each full of spices in a cabinet. One is run of the mill stuff like oregano, dill, basil, etc. The other I call our ethnic one as it has more exotic things like chimayo chili or black mustard seed. I have another container that I put baking spices in. I have saved old spice jars and just refill them. Sometimes I only buy a TBSP at a time. I think we use more spices than average though.
