So, in a sudden burst of motivation today I decided to take action! I've been looking for a solution for the many bags of flour, wheat flour, oats, confectioners sugar, granulated sugar, brown sugar!!! Ahhhh!!! Then I read this post awhile ago and found my solution. Mason jars! That was it.
Then at my in-laws the other day it came up that I wanted to go to the Super Flea with hopes of finding cheap ones (they're a bit pricey at the grocery store) and Rose said she had a ton and to take some. Score! So I came home with 8 large mason jars last night and went and bought new rims and lids today and got to work.
I gave them a good wash and got out all my random bags of flour, sugar and everything else I have. As soon as they were dry as a bone (moisture=bad news) I got to filling.
And this is what I ended up with. Eight jars, neat as a pin. I'd like to go back and get even more to store rice and pasta in. Silly me, I almost only took 4 and was talked into eight and now I want more!
I know it may not seem like a big thing, and it may not be saving me tons of space, but I feel good about it. And hey! you've got to start somewhere.
