Using Glass Jars Meant for Cereal Storage

Our major deal of the week hails from Walmart, where we lately stumbled upon these giant glass containers in the glass/tupperware aisle and simply had to take home two of ’em for our cereal.

Sure, we already have a few glass containers that we use to store sugar and flour, but for simply $6.97 each (they are big gallon jars!) we could not seem to leave the store without ’em. They beat the pants off the prices of similar jugs from West Elm, and it is pleasant to keep our cereal fresh without the use of off-gassing or leeching plastic containers (which we used to use in the cabinets) so displaying our cereal in straightforward-on-the eyes glass containers simply makes us glad. What can we say?

We were originally gonna snag some of those stainless steel cereal scoops (we saw some at The Container Store) but it is in fact quite convenient to pour the cereal directly from the jar into our bowls- so the scoops would have simply been an extra step (although I think they would have looked adorable).

So there you have it, our steal of the week. We’d link to ’em but they are nowhere to be found online so simply hit up the glass/tupperware aisle in your local store to snatch a few your yourself! And do not forget to send us the pics of them living happily on your kitchen counter…
