What are the best glass jars you've ever bought?

POSTED BY: sotomonkey 3 weeks, 3 days ago

I use glass jars to put various things in such as tea and coffee.

It's free storage that helps the environment.

The largest I've found are the olive or gherkin jars in Lidl. My question to you is two fold. Where' the best place to buy large glass jars to store stuff like pasta in?

And what's the best glass jar you've ever bought, the most pretty etc?

I guess you could also add plastic tubs to this list.

When you think about how much money people sometimes pay for stuff to store things in, it makes a deal where you've bought a jar even hotter.

try TK Maxx - they have really nice ones cheapish- suppose Asda / Tesco do too.

Not big enough for pasta - but the Douwe Egberts coffee jars are good for storage as they are thick glass with good airtight lids

Not filter coffee. Although I'll admit I should be keeping it in a jar that's more airtight.

to store pasta in?

I Know safeway used to do really large plastic containers with rice in (think almost clothes washing liquid shaped bottle/4 pint milk container, but larger with a wide mouth and plastic screw lid like old school sweet jars)

Dont know if any of the supermarkets do them any more, but they line up nicely and store alot. I have several in my kitchen i use for pasta, rice etc etc.

Function over looks, they are stored in a cupboard anyway
