Another thing you may want to do is go to your local dollar store, where you
can pick up spices very cheaply. I go to the Dollar Tree, where they have
plastic containers of parsley and cinnamon and italian seasoning 2 for a
dollar.

Another item you will need is a pepper mill for fresh ground black pepper; they
aren't very expensive for the plastic ones although the wooden ones can get
pricey. Places like Walmart and Target carry them and the plastic ones cost
less than ten dollars and usually come with a matching salt shaker.

For salt, I prefer Kosher Salt because I like the texture, and I use it in my
salt shaker, where the holes are barely large enough for the salt to go thru.
Sea Salt is good also; unless I'm in a restaurant, I never use normal Morton's
Salt.
