It's no secret that plastic can be harmful, especially when it's in contact with our food. Recently, I made the switch from plastic food storage to glass containers. At first I thought it would be quite expensive to switch and buy all new containers, however, I found some amazing deals! Most of my pantry jars are from Ross that I purchased for $2 each! All the spice jars are from World Market for 99¢ each. I found the labels on Pinterest, which were free printables. I had to buy the label paper for about $15 for 25 sheets (I didn't need all the sheets, but that was the smallest pack I could find). We recently bought a printer and I was joking with my husband, saying that the labels cost us $115! We got a great deal on our printer as well! :)
I took some pictures to show the transformation from hectic plastic to streamlined safety!
The outcome is amazing and I couldn't be happier with the way it looks!

That adorable honey jar is from Target and it is so fun to use!
Since we don't have a filtered water system, we just buy the huge jugs of Ozarka water and I empty it into my water dispenser. The massive Mason jar mimic is from World Market for $20 (use the 10% off coupon!)
To keep down on buying boxes and packaged foods, I buy in bulk when I can. Sprouts, Whole Foods, Central Market are all great places to load up on the exact amount of what you need without having excess packaging lying around!
So happy with the switch and I know that my food will be safe!
