Buy a year’s worth of your favorite
spices and save: An ounce of
cinnamon is about
but an
8-ounce bag is only $10. Use a
small funnel to fill a bottle for
daily use, then store the rest,
tightly sealed, in a cool, dark place.

Nutmeg tastes better and lasts
longer when you store it whole and
grate it as needed. Use a nutmeg
grater (about $6 at kitchen supply
stores), and store the nutmegs in
the freezer between uses.
The rectangular shape of these
spoons means they fit easily
into any spice bottle. Keep a
set in your baking kit and one
with your utensils.
