Me, too! And I thought "Hey, as an extra added bonus, I get to try some spices I’m not familiar with-practically for free! I mean, even if you disregard the cost of the rack and the tubes (which I’m sure I’ll get years of use out of), I paid $1.00 per spice. A bargain, right?
And I really like the idea mentioned upthread of using out-dated spices/herbs as natural pest repellents!
I assume this was the guy.
No comments to help but I’ll just say I’m bummed I missed the deal, I could really use one of those.
Here’s my favorite curry recipe that will help with at least 3 of your spices: 5-spice powder, ginger, and curry.

Yeah, that’s the one. It’s pretty awesome. Apparently, from the comments in the online community, they run it from time to time, so keep an eye out for a re-do.
That sounds pretty awesome, and not too difficult at all (especially if I use frozen stir-fry veggies); also, it doesn’t sound too spicy. I like spicy food, but no one else in my house does. 
I like spicy, and I’d call my recipie kinda spicy, so be cautious! You could cut down on the cayenne & black pepper if it’s too much, but the ginger and curry (if it’s mild curry) should be OK. The coconut milk makes a nice sauce with just a little sweetness.
This is the one I got. Actually, I got the 16-slot version. Now I feel I got screwed. In any case, I’ve ordered a set of bottles to use because, due to my particular madness, I can’t stand to dump most of the spices I don’t expect to use just to make room for the ones I will. So, I’m just replacing the jars and putting the bottles aside until a couple of years after I would actually be afraid to use them.
But, I am having fun throwing sea salt and dried chives into everything I cook.
Hey, there are very few foods that would not benefit from the addition of some sea salt or dried chives! (Kinda like cheese, sour cream and butter!) 
Powdered onion and garlic certainly have their uses (Chex mix!), but those freeze-dried bits really suck. Hey, at least she didn’t get dried cilantro, which is Satan’s toejams.
Ahhh! So that’s what’s in the BONUS ‘Satan’s Toe Jams’ tube! 
I thought it was ‘Satan’s Dish Soap’!
I’ll save that for a night when I’m only making something the rest of the family likes, not something I like! 
In case it wasn’t mentioned, I’d lightly cook the curry powder and/or garam masala in a bit of oil before adding too many other ingredients - onion can go in first, but not too much more. You want to bring out the true flavors of the spices and infuse the oil with that flavor. Adding it at the end won’t do the spice mix justice and won’t properly flavor the food.
How is “chai” properly pronounced?
Cha-eye, but run it all together as one syllable.
