Any good cook knows that spices make a difference. That little dash of seasoning takes a plain dish from bland to tasty. Even if you just cook because you have to eat, you probably have several different spices in your kitchen. The trouble with spices is that they degrade over time. They are still usable but they won't be as flavorful once they pass their use by date. There is nothing more frustrating than starting to cook before you realize that your spice has expired. Don't you wish there was an easy way to track your spices? There is. If you use Stockpile as your home inventory solution you can easily keep track of the use by dates on all your spices. It's quick and easy. Keep reading to learn more.

Today, we're going to talk about a very small project that you can use for your first Stockpile home inventory solution experience, tracking your spices.

Does it sound crazy to use a small business inventory management solution to track your spices? It shouldn't. Stockpile is fully customizable.

Include the information that you want and don't worry about the rest. Stockpile is designed to work for you.
You will definitely want the name of the spice and the use by date. You may want to include the brand, how many ounces are in the jar, and some identifying characteristics such as red lid, or green striped container. You could even make a note about which recipes this spice is used in. Stockpile can make your life easier, and more flavorful.
Stockpile home inventory solution makes it easy to access details with just a few clicks. Since most people keep their spices on a spice rack or in one cabinet, finding them isn't usually a problem. What is tricky is replacing them before they go "bad." Stockpile makes it easy to keep track of those dates. Instead of digging through your spices searching for that tiny date that is usually stamped on the bottom of the container, you can just pull up your records and check the dates. Determining whether everything is still usable or not has never been easier.
If you're like me, you probably feel guilty when you throw away an almost full container of something. When you see that something is approaching its use by date you can search for additional recipes that call for that spice. Not only will you use up what you have, you might just find a new favorite recipe.
