Kath -- Thanks for suggestions. I do keep my stuff on lazy susans -- short stuff on two-tier, large stuff on single. I didn't know they made a three tier one.

I'm sorry I don't remember Phyllis. I'm thinking it may have been Goodwill or a Garage Sale.?? It's been so long ago. I need to clean out my old spices too. I'll be watching to see if someone has some ideas to use them somehow instead of just pitching them. Kath Kath -- Thanks for suggestions.
