Do Just One Thing

Danny Seo on

Did you know the shelf life of dried spices is about two years? It can be hard to remember when you bought herbs and spices, so be sure to mark the month and year on the jar when you bring home new containers. When it’s time to replace spices, don’t toss them into the trash. Old spices can be used to make all-natural aromatherapy sprays or even as all-natural insect repellants around the house. Just look up individual spices and find some clever hacks for how to use them. The easiest? Toss your old spices into your compost bin.
