Canning jars

These jars might be the hip and trendy way to serve drinks and food these days, but we like them because they are also practical and affordable. The half-pint (240 ml) jars are useful for storing spices and sauces, while the quart-size (950 ml) ones are ideal for taking salads, juices, and smoothies on the go. You can buy them by the dozen at most large supermarkets year-round.
