Theyre stylish and practical.

So, about a year ago, I finally admitted defeat and committed to using mason jars.

Shortly after, I learned that Dollar Tree sells32-ounce glass mason jarswith built-in measurement scales and cute gold lids.

The glass doesnt hold odors or stains, and I love the stylish look of the included gold lid.

The gold lid makes these utilitarian jars look intentional on open shelving.

I have a long-standing thumb injury, and this basic functionality makes my life so much easier.

What I love most, though, is the built-in measurement scale along the side.

Since I can measure ingredients directly in the jar, there are fewer dishes to wash.

They hold breakfast staples, likegranolaandcold brew coffee.

For lunch, I use them to prep just-add-water-soups andsaladsfor when my husband commutes to work.

For dinners, I use them to mix marinades and dressings that I can shake right before serving.

My sourdough starter has never been happier, and I can easily monitor its growth and activity.

They’re also perfect for making quickrefrigerator picklesand portable drinks and smoothies.

For just $1.25, these jars deliver such great value that I’ve amassed quite a collection.

And honestly, I regret nothingexcept maybe not buying more when I was there last weekend.
