I am very frugal by nature. It is no secret that I love things organized and I admit that my heart goes pitter patter when everything matches. I looked into buying all new spice jars so that everything would be in glass and matching perfectly in my spice drawer. I just couldn’t bring myself to spend a small fortune for a drawer that only I see. Honestly I’d rather use my money to buy food to use all of those spices on.
I decided that my best solution was to remove all of the mismatched labels to create a more uniform look. I peeled off the labels and replaced them with labels made with my label maker and clear label tape.
I grouped my spices by jar type and then put each jar type in alphabetical order. By grouping them together I was able to see that I had a couple of duplicates. I took a picture of the drawer with my smart phone so that I can see at a glance what I have if I am second guessing myself the next time that I am in the store.
Sometimes the best things in life are free. I am satisfied with the results and I didn’t spend a penny.

Looks great! Any difficulty with getting the Original labels off?

Most of the labels came off easily as there was only one stripe of adhesive to attach the label. There were a couple that had adhesive under the whole label so those had to be scrubbed off, so that took a little patience. I made sure that the lid was closed tightly and then ran the bottle under hot water. I have a plastic scrapper from Pampered Chef that worked great to scrape off the label.
