Thrifty Thursday ~ Mason Jar Thrift Store Find

A couple of weeks ago, Grace's aunt and I took her to the movies to the most adorable, little movie theater a few towns over.

On the way home, we decided to pop in and browse at a little thrift shop.  I'm so glad we did!

I scored this unopened case of jelly jars for super cheap!  The price sticker was marked at $5, but the shop was having a 20% off sale that day on everything in the store!

The box was a little damaged.
A dent here and some water damage there, so I almost passed them up.

But seeing how inexpensive they were, I figured if there were a few broken jars in there, I'd still work out to be a deal for the remaining jars.

So for $4 and some change for sales tax, I really couldn't leave them there.  Could I?

In the end, it turned out that all the jars and lids were in perfect condition!

Now, don't get too excited...I have not taken up making my own jelly and jams.  At least not yet.

I might - and I mean a very slight might - attempt some homemade apple sauce when we pick apples this year.

Most likely, I will use them for storing bulk spices or small leftover portions.

Guest Posting at Mess for Less ~ My First Guest Post!

Good Morning, Friends! 

I'm so excited! 

Today, you can find me over at Mess For Less sharing a Thrifty Thursday solution for toy storage! 


Yes, it's my first time doing a guest post!  While I am super-excited, I was a bit out of my comfort zone... Not only writing for someone else's page, but also on a topic I don't write about too often.  In the end, I'm pleased with my post and I may start posting more thrifty solutions here in the future! 

I'd love for you to follow me over to Vicky's page, not only to check out my post, but to see what else her page has to offer!
