She also (sadly) gives me stuff - usually linens. More than my uncluttered mind wants! But you know, they are my style which is why she buys them. However, I also steal her seldom used ingredients as I'm far more a baker than she is.<br /><br />My pantry is uniform, but consumery - I bought matching Oxo Pop containers (from the seconds outlet) when I moved out alone. I have opted for sachets with the spices, and recently refilled some more at the bulk coop. I did the sachets as I KNEW I'd be like you with jars otherwise!!
