One of my most fun past times is going to garage/tag sales in the summer to find these. I have a beautiful jar collection and a fantastic basket collection...all bought very cheap at these sales. I know some of them are collector's jars which would sell for large amounts of money. But that is the fun of it, seeing what kind of a jar I can find, and how cheaply I can get it. Some are the large jars which hold items such as flour. But some are smaller which can hold anything from dried cranberries to sunflower seed nuts. I have a set of wooden shelves in my kitchen just for all these jars. I loved seeing your ideas for them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055330933900013377.post-88473876038176750822011-02-02T21:04:51.539-08:002011-02-02T21:04:51.539-08:00Organizing also helps find your thing easily.There...Organizing also helps find your thing easily.There should be proper containers for all items...also as there are similar looking things it is better to have labeled bottles.New York mold removalhttp://www.fiveboromoldspecialist.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055330933900013377.post-67230476684715533242011-02-02T07:53:07.708-08:002011-02-02T07:53:07.708-08:00THANK YOU for posting this!

I have my salt, pepper, baking soda, cornstarch, and baking power in them. I also have my own cajun seasoning and cinnamon sugar. A great place to find the gallon glass jars is your local restraunts. They will sometimes save them for you when they are done so you can just pick them up at no charge. I would start at the "mom & pop" places first.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055330933900013377.post-74681680707092309752011-02-01T11:17:26.055-08:002011-02-01T11:17:26.055-08:00Hi Crystal!

I'm still using your bread recipe, freezer cooking recipes and of course the cinnaman roll recipe. <br />I've been getting big glass jars, and food-safe 5 gal buckets from Azure Standard. This has helped me keep my bulk food organzied (plus, I know what I have in the pantry and garage at all times now).

I know life in a small house with lots of kids.. At the time we had 7 kids we were living in a 3 bedroom house with 1100 square feet.. it was a tight squeeze and I learned a lot about organizing.. it was either that or chaos!! LOL.. Right now I don't have little ones anymore so my organizing is not what it use to be.. If you have anything specific you want me to share about.. let me know..<br /><br />Ruth.. good luck on the organizing!
