You're not a real blogger until you share either a life hack, an IKEA hack, a DIY project or sell handmade products on Etsy, basically.
It came to me in the middle of the night, post-nursing session - my first bloggable life hack! I love jars - Mason, Ball, clear, blue, regular mouth, wide mouth, teeny tiny or huge - glass jars are the perfect storage solution for everything.
If you're trying to be thrifty in the kitchen, chances are you buy some things in bulk. But no one wants bags of beans shlumping around their pantry - enter the gallon glass jar! Just the right size and you can clearly see what's inside. The only problem - that beauty pictured front and center is $14 at Target. Oh, and I have what... five kinds of beans plus rice and oats and everything else. It gets pricy.
So for pantry hack #1, you saunter over to the Target condiment aisle and get some pickles instead. A gallon jar of pickles costs $8-10. HOW DOES THAT MAKE SENSE. Who in the world decided that an empty glass jar was worth more than the same glass jar full of FOOD? An idiot. Take advantage of their idiocy. And use a bit of bleach to get rid of the pickle smell before you store your bulk goods inside.
Easy peasy.
