The Cute (And Affordable) Kitchen Storage Idea Using Dollar Tree Glass Jars
There's nothing more satisfying than lining up matching glass jars on a counter, in a drawer, or on a spice rack. They provide a chic way to store your ingredients while looking totally intentional. And we have some great news: Dollar Tree are currently selling classic cookie jars, including twist-off lids that just so happen to be the perfect size for just about anything that needs containing. From spices to coffee pods, they make everything look like they came straight from a boutique kitchen store — but without the exorbitant price tags.
If you've ever felt frustrated by the never-ending chaos of your spice collection, let these jars be a simple fix and transfer everything into identical containers. This Dollar Tree find will end up being one of the small-kitchen spice-storage hacks that actually works. Larger jars are able to handle things like flour or oats, while the smaller options work beautifully for salt, pepper, or whichever spices you use most frequently. Even drawers can get an upgrade with a glass jar by filling them and laying them on their sides, creating an organized visual system (a hack to keep in mind if you've been wondering how to stack spice jars in a drawer without buying a rack).
Don't stop with just spices!
The best way to utilize these cheap but functional jars is to give them as many uses as possible, so feel free to think outside the box. Store tea bags or loose tea, nuts, candies, or even dog treats. Seeing a row of jars on a shelf filled with colorful snacks looks like stylish decor instead of just storage. Coffee lovers in particular will appreciate larger jars, where you can store pods, ground coffee, or whole beans to make your morning routine run smoothly. If you've ever wondered what the best way to store your coffee is, this is it: somewhere airtight and dry.
Because the jars are clear, they are also a great way to do daily inventory checks. No more discovering you have an empty bag of almonds just as you grab it out of the pantry for a recipe. Using jars as both display pieces and functional storage units will become part of your personality in no time. It's all in the small details, after all.
