Kmart shopper’s handy spice rack tip wows online fans: ‘That's brilliant!

Are you tired of rummaging through a cluttered kitchen drawer to find that elusive container of ginger, turmeric or cumin?

If so, then you're not alone. One of the biggest gripes of every keen home cook is keeping all their herbs and spices neat and organised so that they don't take up precious counter space.

Thankfully, one Kmart fan has devised an ingenious space-saving storage solution to end all your organisation woes–and it won't cost you a fortune either.


The shopper has sent Kmart shoppers wild with her super clever hack for a chic-looking spice rack, and it only uses two of the budget retailer's favourite budget products.

The poster took to social media, explaining how her $15 Modular 3 Tier Skincare Shelf–originally meant as a skincare and makeup shelf–was also the perfect multitasking kitchen storage solution.

'I'm so happy I finally worked out something aesthetically pleasing that worked,' she said alongside a picture of her version of the clever 'spice rack hack.'


'I used the makeup rack, small glass spice jars and made my own labels!'

Using the shelf as the base, the shopper also used Tall Glass Canisters costing only 4 dollars apiece. On the shelf, they act as a functional way to display all your favourite spices–plus, they look great too!

But that's not the only part that caught everyone's attention.


The shopper also revealed her trick for creating beautiful labels for the spice jars on a budget.

She used the graphic design platform Canva to design her 'perfect labels' and printed them onto vinyl sheets with sticky backing.

Tech-savvy family members might help you with designing your own labels using design platforms. But of course, you may also go the old-fashioned route and use plain handwritten ones.

The shopper shared the improvement of her spice rack. She mentioned that she has been placing store-bought spice jars in a tub for eight years, but now it looks very organised.

'Far out, that's brilliant!' one person said.

'This is exactly what I’ve been looking for!' added another.

A third person shared, ‘Wow, it looks so clean and orderly. Love it. Great hack.’

Not only does this hack solve the problem of organising your kitchen staples, but it also provides additional counter space for those who prefer not to keep bulky items on the counter.

I think it is a waste of money to put your spices in different jars than what they come in. I prefer to buy from the same shop that way my spice jars are all the same.

I didn't want anymore clutter so we installed a spice rack that fitted into one of our drawers under the counter - it has a bit of a slope - that way I can see all of the spices I have -without having to move the containers around and - usually for me, knocking them over....thats not mine

I didn't want any spices on show and taking up counter space. We put in a spice rack that fitted into the top draw under the counter. The rows have a slope, you can see all of the spices in one glance - without having to pick the ones up behind the the first row, or moving them around and knocking them over....zspices-l1600notspice.jpgzspices-l1600notspice.jpgzspices-l1600notspice.jpgzspices-l1600notspice.jpgzspices-l1600notspice.jpg

I've seen that photo on Amazon. Did you buy the rack and spice set on Amazon. Is your draw the same size as in the picture.
