Spicy Shelf purchase to help me organize my kitchen stuff

So I was browsing around Walgreens and came across this item called a Spicy Shelf Patented Spice Rack and Stackable Organizer.  I had never seen it before, but I was drawn to it.  I had to admit that I was a little skeptical so I didn't open it right when I got home.  Instead I watched a couple of YouTube video tutorials.

Even after seeing how easy to use and versatile this product is, I still didn't open it for a while.  I was trying to picture in my head how I would utilize this item in my kitchen cupboard.

First of all, I don't have that many spices, yet.  Secondly, the shelves in my cabinets are not adjustable so I am limited in height.  Also, I have some turntables that I made using a DIY video from Alejandra Costello's video (go to 3:20).  She uses cake pans and marbles from Dollar Tree, but I used electric burner covers and a bottle of 6mm BBs.



I finally opened the box and started moving things around in my cabinet.  In my first rendition, I just used two of the quarter inch extensions and my turntable fit perfectly, but I thought this was a little too tight for my liking.

I added two more extensions and this is what it looked like:

I still felt like this was a little too squashed for my liking so I added a few more extra extensions and scooted it up to the side of the cabinet.

I don't know if you can tell, but the center of the spicy shelf kind of sinks down a little.  I think this is my fault because I had put a full container of bread crumbs on it and I don't think this product is intended to carry something that heavy.  This caused some of the bottles on the side to slide off since the shelf on the right was kind of slanted inward.  I removed the bread crumbs and laid it on its side behind the turntable.

Since the turntable slides on the Dollar Tree shelf liner easily, I can move it from side to side to access the items in the back easily.

The Spicy Shelf had a whole other section that I haven't used yet.  All in all, I like this product and am looking forward to see what else I can use it for.

Kitchen cabinet organization using Rubbermaid storage containers

I am obsessed with Rubbermaid storage containers.  Especially in my kitchen cabinets.  I absolutely love how my cabinets look and I no longer have storage containers on my counters.  Here's a peak:

The tallest containers are made to hold five pounds of flour and the next size holds five pounds of sugar.

I like to bake so I have a variety of flours.  This can be confusing as many of them look a lot alike. I labeled them to distinguish each.  I continued the labeling with the sugars.  I liked how all my labels were lined up along the bottom.
To the left of my sugars and flours, I have legumes.  Black beans, chick peas, pinto beans, split peas, and lentils.  These containers don't have labels since these items are much easier to tell apart.

 The next section has orzo and penne pasta alongside some long grain brown rice.

My cabinet has a bit of a lip on the side so I put the least used item up against this corner.

I prefer the containers that are long and skinny as these utilize the space in the cabinets much more efficiently.  Links below to these items.
