What everyone else has told you is true. One of my must haves is Dill.
What I find is that if you start with about five or six basic spices, then
as you experiment with new recipes you will find that you need to buy this
or that spice for a particular dish. After a time you will have a well
stocked spice cabinet of things you will most likely really use.
