YOUR Top 5 Spices?

The friendliest place on the web for anyone that enjoys cooking.
If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
Salt (does that count? :) ), black pepper, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, and zatar (although that's cheating, since zatar is a mix of many seasonings...).
 
I need your help! One of my next blogs will be on kitchen spices, so I would love it if you could help, by sharing your preferences with me :chef:

QUESTION: What FIVE spices do you tend to grab MOST OFTEN (not including Salt & Pepper)

Here are mine, in no particular order:

Garlic Powder
Fresh Nutmeg (grated)
Cinnamon
Tarragon
Oregano
Ooh, hard one!
Fresh nutmeg (whole - grated as required as the flavour of the commercial grated stuff deteriorates quickly.
Ginger (both ground and in the dried root form to use in pickling, etc.)
Cinnamon - ground and sticks
Saffron - hmm, spice or herb?
coriander - both ground and seeds

Tarragon and oregano are herbs not spices as is garlic, which I would never buy as powder, so you could have more spices on your list.

Saffron is a spice. Herbs are leaves; spices are other aromatic plant parts.
 
This one is easy:
Garlic - minced
Crystallized Ginger
Celery Flakes
Bay Leaves
Italian Seasoning Mix
 
garlic
garlic minced
garlic chopped
garlic crushed
garlic powder


Sorry couldn't resist and really sad can't get bacon on the list.
