Where to get spice jars?

post #1 of 9
Thread Starter 
I buy spices in bulk, usually it is cheaper. I am in need of a few more jars but they don't sell them with the bulk spices at the grocery stor, weird huh? So where can I get them? I looked at the dollar store and Michaels but no luck. I would like glass, acutally I really would like to replace all my jars with magnectic tins as the cupboards above our stove our metal and it would free up a draw that is jam packed with spices.

I use canning jars in various sizes for my bulk spices and save the jars from store bought ones and remove the label and use those for my day to day cooking.

If you have a world market around, I've often seen a nice variety of glass and magnetic-tin type empty spice jars there. We used old glass jars for a long time, and then got a bunch of coordinating jars from ikea once.

I also use canning jars for my bulk spices.

We also have the little glass jars from IKEA. We use them for spices and tea (DH has many many kinds ) in a drawer. Here's a picture. We just use masking tape and pen for the labels but I'm sure you could do it much nicer if you want to.

For tall spice jars like you get at the store, maybe try Specialty Bottle? They have tins too, but I'm not sure if those would be magnetic? Or how about some vials with cork stoppers for something different? They seem to have pretty good prices too.

When I buy in bulk I use larger jars to keep the excess in my pantry. For this I just reuse other jars I have from things we have bought.

I bought a bunch a long time ago at cost plus world market. I've picked some up from IKEA, but have passed most of them along.
I've bought a spice at the grocery store, used the product, and then reused the jar (after I remove store label). I've also picked up jars like this at the thrift store from time to time and yard sales too.
I've used canning jelly jars and all also use mason jars with clamp lids sometimes.
I keep all my additional bulk spices/herbs not currently in use, in the bags they came in, within a large freezer ziploc and keep those ziploc bags in one of my freezers.

I like Sunburst for glass bottles.

I got ours, though, from a local discount store with spices in them $1 each and then refill as needed. They are glass bottles with double-sided flip lids (one side has holes, the other side is open for a small measuring spoon) and the name of the spice is on the side of the lid. They are simply perfect for our set up and usage!

In some discount store I have been in recently, maybe Tuesday Morning, I saw an entire set of the magnetic tins for a decent price. They were in a weird location in the store, though, so maybe ask.
