So we went to Canadian Tire last night to pick up some mason jars and some plumbing tape so our Brita would stop leaking, and now our cupboards are organization central! When we were in Richmond we found 9 1.5L bottles for $13.99, and we picked up 12 1L bottles for $9.99 last night. Our bulk section items are no longer in bags thrown into the cupboard in a mess! Woo! So, like the complete dork I am, here’s what we did :D

1.5 L Mason Jars 1 L Mason Jars
Whole Wheat Rotini
Vegetable Rotini
Whole Wheat Macaroni
Basmati Rice
Brown Rice
Red Lentils
Couscous
Oatmeal & Flax Cereal
Wheatlets
Baking Soda
Buckwheat
Barley
Ground Flax Seeds
Raw Sunflower Seeds
Green Lentils
Mung Beans
Navy Beans
Black Beans
Wild Rice
Sushi Rice

Which leaves us one more 1L bottle to grow :D It’s a little thing, cupboard organization, but when you have to dig through over-sized bags holding little amounts of everything then shove them all back in the cupboard it can get annoying… our hunt for canisters was ok, but they didn’t seal very well and they were too expensive to buy a lot of. When we were at Lionel’s parents house Linda showed us how she used mason jars to store things and now I will never go back!!
