Tip of the Day - Jars
I love bonuses. I’m elated when I buy my favorite toothpaste and it comes with a free sample of dental floss. When you buy food that comes in a jar, you get a bonus storage container with your purchase.
Jars are a great way to store food, craft supplies, hardware, even barrettes. They’re dishwasher safe, keep food fresh longer, and can be used over and over again. I store rice in spaghetti sauce jars, cat food in a big pickle jar, guacamole mix in a jam jar. Out in the garage, I keep nails, screws, and picture hanging hooks separated in salsa jars. Baby food jars are awesome for organizing beads and buttons. It’s a great way to work the reuse part of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
Start your jar collection by grabbing a jar of Newman’s Own Marinara on your next trip to the grocery store. Good, good for you, and for a good cause.
