If I could go to the store and bring small mason jars with me when I needed more spices and fill them from a dispenser, use say a commercial vacuum sealer for the lid then throw them in the cupboard and refill small jars like this with a cork and reseal the jars at home I'd probably think these were a nice aesthetic. Rack hanging on the back splash with all the different spices and just refill them all when needed without wasting more and more plastic bottles or one time use grinders that we replace soon as they are empty. I understand singular people's waste is a tiny fraction of the waste created by companies... But I still feel bad any time I throw away a zip lock bag. I've gotten to the point that I just flip them inside out and rinse them out or wash them and leave them to dry so I can reuse them. Next day throw them back in a drawer sorted by usecase.
