IMPORTANT NOTICE to MY READERS
Sunday, October 09, 2011Mason Jars
Have you missed me? This summer flew by, oh wait, summer been over for... weeks! Yes, fall is quickly passing me by as well it seems. I have had next to no time for my blog or website, much to my great disappointment. But I have learned over the years - 10 years blogging - that life needs to come first, family needs to come first. So I live by that rule when it comes to computer time. Anyway... here is a nifty little tip.
I love Mason Jars. I mean, really, what's not to love? I use them for drinking, food storage, canning, flower vases, organizing, and more. I have purchased quite a few boxes of Ball plastic lids for my Mason Jars. I love them. I can't seem to get enough of them. But then I discovered that your typical mayonnaise jar and some peanut butter jar plastic lids fit a regular mouth Mason Jar. Talk about frugal and recycling at the same time!   It makes me happy!

Thank you! I'm frugal that way too and this is such a great idea and one I never would have come up with on my own.
Great idea.
