Where can I find square glass or ceramic jars

[Ellien C]

or storage containers for flour, sugar, rice, etc?

I don't know of a specific place but maybe try a thrift store.

We have some from Bed Bath and Beyond.

World Market has some. They have brick & mortar stores, but you can also order online. Here's one option and another.

Those are perfect! And I have to drive past the World Market on my way to Trader Joes so I can get them this week. Thanks. I hope my store has them.

The Container Store has some, too.

I have also seen them at Ikea.

spaghetti sauce jars

My friend showed me how she stores all her grains, oats etc.... she puts them in empty spaghetti sauce jars. She rips off the label and then wallah she has a clear reusable jar! so awesome. why didnt i think of that. Then she labels the jars too. She has a whole cabinet full of grains stored that way.

There are some glass jars that have rounded edges with screw on lids and come in multiple sizes at Target. I use them for all my dry goods. They can be found at World Market for a little bit more cash.



I use spaghetti/salad dressing jars for little things like spices.

These aren't very frugal, but lovely--Maxwell and Williams do a range of square, glass storage jars. I have dozens of them, I collected them for months before my marriage. They have lids that squoosh on and off, and they're thick and old-fashioned-looking. They come in various sizes--I have two big square ones for sugar and oats, and the rest are four sizes (short, taller, taller still and very tall for spaghetti). Most of them are in my cupboards, but I have a few lining my benches with pretty lentils and kidney beans stored in them. I like 'em! Try the Maxwell and Williams site; I think they're called 'Olde English' storage jars or something. I bought a few at an outlet store, much cheaper.

have you tried freecycle.com? I freecycled a bunch of those when we moved last year
