So a friend of mine told be that our local bulk store is letting you bring in your own jars to be filled. It used to be that you left there with a hundred little baggies and had to try to empty them into your containers when you got home. I had a stack of jars at home so I gave it a try and I thought it was super satisfying to pour the stuff right into the jars they were meant for while you were in the store. When you get there, you go to the front counter, give the employee the jar. She weighs them, marks the top with the weight, and then deducts that weight from the total as she weighs what you bought. Super simple!
Anyway, I did that once or twice and loved it, but wasn't really pleased with the cluttered look of my jars on the counter. It wasn't the stuff in the jars, but the different lids. I had some time on Saturday, and a can of chalky finish spray paint so we turned it into a craft. We roughed up the tops with a little 120 grit sandpaper, wiped them down, and I gave them a quick spray. Now I just have to figure out what I need at the Bulk Barn!
