I just counted over 100, but it might be more like 90, since I do have
some jars of whole and others of ground of the same spice or herb. I
did also count a few mixtures, and just ran out of curry powder
tonight....

How many I use on a regular basis? 30 or so.
Savory: onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, white pepper, mixed
4-color pepper, paprika, sweet paprika, cayenne, hot pepper flakes,
basil, oregano, thyme, bay leaves, parsley, marjoram, dill

"Sweet": cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, anise, fennel, star
anise, mace, cardamom and cloves. Also Vanilla, orange, anise, and
almond extracts.
