My neighbor's make-do soup changed how I shop for spices

She mentioned she hasn't bought a single spice jar in three years and just swaps what's in her pantry based on what she's cooking that day. Last week she used a mix of dried dill and celery salt in place of the seasoning packet I always reach for, and it tasted better than mine. Has anyone else tried skipping a spice blend and just combining two or three singles from your cabinet?

Dill and celery salt aren't really a swap for the packet... they're more of a shortcut.
