Organization: Glass Jars

After seeing this photo:


I knew I wanted to organize my food cupboard with glass jars.
Isn't it gorgeous?!

Well, I went shopping at Target and decided to check out how much their glass containers were.



$13! For one!
Too much!

So, I checked out Wal-Mart
$13 for 3.
Better, but still too much.

I then went to Old Time Pottery.
None were the right size.
Either too teeny or too massive.

Alas, I found a great deal online!




$2.99 each!
But, did I mention they were from IKEA?
That glorious store that is no where close to KC?!
Whose shipping is outrageous?!

So yeah..... no luck.

Today I decided to venture to my favorite thrift.
Score.


7 jars for $7!!!
That's what I'm talkin' bout!
Their prices ranged from $.25 to $1.98.
They will be perfect for holding the bulk items we have started buying at Whole Foods.
And it'll look so pretty!

While I was there I also spotted this red lantern for $1.98 that I thought would be perfect out on our deck.



Not too shabby!
Well, I am off to go stick the containers in the dishwasher. Organizing the kitchen is my project for next week. These will sure come in handy!!!

  3. The website does NO justice to the store!! When I heard we were getting one hear in Charlotte last year, I check out the site and was not impressed.... but going to the store.... now that IS impressive!
