I am fortunate enough to have a pretty fancy spice rack in my cabinet. However fancy does not make use. I store my spices with braille labeler and in alphabetical order. I reuse containers. In other words when I buy new spices I put them in the older already labeled in braille containers.
I too use trays. They help tremendously when it comes to clean up. Sent from my iPhone > On Feb 1, 2015, at 12:00 > 1.
