This post reminded me that I still need to declutter some parts of the kitchen, specifically the unused spices that aren't so good anymore.

Cleaning up things like books and close always has that danger of hitting the emotional wall, the connection to these objects which you technically don't need, but still want to keep.

I think decluttering is a lifelong journey 😁

I was just reading one of those random articles that crops up on social media, and it was "interesting things found in people's houses." One of them was "I found these old spices from when they came in TINS!!" (photo of old spices)
I was like...
They still come in tins! Like I literally have some in my cupboard that are still good in tins?? That isn't a dead thing, you know! 😂

Lol, I had to google 'spices in tin cans' just to visualize what they look like. Interesting how they switched to plastic containers which keeps things fresh for shorter periods of time.

Sometimes they are in plastic, sometimes in tins, and sometimes (most often, I think, here) in glass. It really depends on where you are shopping, I think.

Here is, from the left, glass, plastic, then tin.

Admittedly the dill and mustard seeds are ones I don't use very often so they are old but they're still fine. I run through a lot of paprika, cayenne, and garlic though. :)

Ah, a fellow anti-vampire. We have kilograms of garlic use monthly. Goes in almost everything. !LOL

🤣 I measure garlic with my heart. No need to get measuring spoons involved.
