15 Ways To Use Mason Jars

Jars are something we all encounter every day, whether it be a pickle jar or a jar of our favorite body butter. But one of the most popular jars is the mason jar! Mason jars aren’t just for jam anymore, we can use them in almost every part of life. Check out the list below for 15 ways to use mason jars in everyday life:

1. Meal To Go: Mason jars make great food containers and holders. Whether it be for a layered salad, leftovers or even your morning oatmeal these jars are perfect for keeping food fresh!
2. Baking Molds: Did you know you can bake directly into your jar? You can make cupcakes or your favorite cake and bake it right in the mason jar. It looks great for presentation and they stay fresh for longer.
3. Blend: Mason jars actually act as a blender attachment. Simply detach your blender blades and screw it on to your mason jar of choice. As long as it is sealed tight it can be used to blend just about anything.
4. Workshop Organization: Whether it be for screws and nails in the work shop or important bits and pieces, mason jars make are a great option for keeping your workstation organized.
5. Gift Wrap: Next time you have a small present or baking treat to wrap, use a mason jar! Not only will it look super cute, you can get creative by painting, adding glitter or even adding cute labels to complete the look.
6. Candle Holder: Whether it be a floating candle or a tea light, mason jars are perfect for a makeshift candle holder.
7. Soap Dispenser: These jars are perfect for making your own DIY soap dispenser. Just grab the pump of your choice and your favorite soap and with a little elbow grease you can make your own bathroom accessory!
8. Catch Fireflies: For a fun kid friendly activity, cut open a glow stick and pour it into a mason jar. Give it a good shake and take it outside to see what looks like a jar full of fireflies.
9. Spices & Seasonings: Use mason jars of any size to store your kitchen spices and seasonings. Add a little label and your cupboards will be super organized.
10. Craft Room Storage: I love the idea of using jars of all sizes to organize craft supplies. To make the jars more fun, glue your favorite plastic animal or toy to the top of the lids and give it a quick spray paint. Suddenly your plain jars have been transformed into cute, personalized organization jars.
11. Yarn Dispenser: If you love to knit or have a ton of yarn this one is for you! Poke a hole in the top of your jar and use it for dispensing your favorite yarn or ribbon. It will keep it organized and it will avoid tangles.
12. Party Cups: Mason jars are perfect for your next party! Use them for party cups and get each guest to label their jar with a sharpie. If you want to add a lid, use a cupcake liner and an elastic band for a cute look.
13. DIY Snowglobe: With a few materials (Glitter, small figurine, water and glue) you can make your own DIY snow globe! They are perfect for decorations around the house or for a personalized gift at Christmas.
14. DIY Beauty Products: These jars make a great holder and container for any and all DIY beauty recipes. Whether it be DIY mouthwash or homemade shampoo, they are the perfect item for the job!
15. Vase: In a pinch without a vase? Mason jars are a great alternative! Add your favorite ribbon and fresh cut flowers for a modern look!

I spent some time…actually a lot of time at Dollar Tree and scoped out the “Good” and “Bad” buys. I also asked for YOUR opinions on the Raining Hot Coupons Facebook page and so many of you gave me some great tips on items you love and items you don’t really care for from Dollar Tree. Thank you all for your tips. Below you will learn what to spend your money on at Dollar Tree (this may apply to other dollar stores as well since they all kinda carry the same stuff). Enjoy…Also, I would love to read any other tips you have in the comments!  🙂

I am going to break it down into categories and different sections of the store. 

Household Cleaning:

Things to Buy:

• ANY of the L.A.’s Totally Awesome products – I had a TON of readers says that they are like magic. The spot remover works awesome and the oxygen power cleaner works as good as the other expensive brands. I recently purchased the Orange cleaners from them and it really is wonderful and quite awesome.  😉
• Fabric softener – believe it or not, this stuff smells great, comes in a big bottle for a buck and is perfect for refreshing couches, rugs, and even pets!
• The Works cleaner – I have not tried this but a lot of readers swear by it. I can’t wait to try it!
• Palmolive Dish soap – there are often coupons available for these so you will get a great deal.
• Sun detergent or dishwashing soap – again, these often have coupons so keep an eye out and if a coupon pops up, you will score a nice deal.

Pass on these:

• Brooms – the handles often break on these
• Garbage bags – a TON of readers had negative things to say about the garbage bags, the rip and tear easily.

Health & Beauty:

Things to buy:

• Pregnancy Tests – these work really well and have always worked for me as well as all the readers who also recommended them! 
• 3 pack loofah sponges (these are perfect for kid’s baths)
• Hair bows, ties, bobby pins, headbands
• Shaving Cream – this stuff really does work and smells pretty good! I love it for just $1!
• Close-Up mouthwash – this is the only brand I would recommend (the others are not so great)
• Triple Antibiotic ointment
• Hydrocortisone Cream
• Scotties tissue – these will often have coupons so you will get great deals
• Cotton pads
• Name Brand make-up – I have spotted Elf and Maybelline and once again Maybelline always has coupons!

Pass on these:

• Q-tips (this isn’t the brand but pass on them) they bend and are not strong and the cotton on the end is very fuzzy
• Off Brand Lotions
• Perfume and Cologne

Birthday Items:

Things to buy:

• Wrapping paper – I am shocked at how much wrapping paper has gone up in price so the $1 store paper is a great deal and you can get a few different designs!
• Gift Bags
• Cards
• Candles
• Streamers (these come with 2 so they are only $0.50 each!)
• Cups
• Birthday decor (party hats, balloons, invitations, favor bags, etc)
• Mylar balloons
• Tissue paper

Pass on these:

• Plastic utensils (they break easily although I do recommend the table liners which is in the same section)

Food and Candy:

Things to buy:

• Movie candy – stop by on the way to the movies and pick up the boxes of candy for just $1! You may be able to find these at Walmart for $0.97 but if you’re closer to a Dollar Store then you may want to stop there instead!
• Candy for Pinatas and Party favor bags – they have several bags of candy that have individually wrapped pieces so this is perfect for Birthday parties! For example, ring pops, suckers, avengers candy pieces and more.
• Popsicles – These have $1/1 coupons which makes them FREE!!
• Soda Pop – I love these, they are off brand but they are huge and perfect for Birthday parties. In my opinion they taste like Shasta.
• Popsicle Molds – a pack of 6 for just $1 – that’s awesome!
• Hormel Pepperoni – Once again, there are often coupon for $0.50 to $1 off which makes them only $0.50 or FREE!
• Drink mixes – these are fabulous, just add 1 to a water bottle and it flavors your drink…they even have sugar free.
• Seasonings – can’t go wrong for $1!

Pass on these:

• Check expiration dates on all the food items…sometimes they tend to have things that go past that date.  😐

Kitchen and Bath:

Things to buy:

• Tupperware
• Tubs and Bins for organizing
• Glass Vases
• Foil baking tins (perfect for Thanksgiving and way cheaper than other stores)
• 3 pack kid’s toothbrushes – there are often coupons that make the kid’s toothbrushes free and sometimes the come with travel cases and covers
• Bathroom Decor – for just $1, that’s a steal!
• Shower curtain – I have heard of people painting these and coloring them for the kiddos bathroom!
• Shower curtain hanging rings (not sure what they are called exactly but they hold up the curtain and are normally very pricey)
• Kid’s bubble bath – this stuff works great and lasts a long time!
• Hefty plastic bags – normally coupons for them which makes them a great deal
• Napkins – they come with a ton and work great
• Tupperware – can’t go wrong with these packs
• Mason Jars – you can do recipes in these, cookies jars, gifts, crafts and more!
• Plates, Cups, Mugs, bowls – this is great if you need to just get a few or want some variation in colors
• Kitchen Towels and Mits – look how cute these are in the picture above..I love the green and purple and for just $1!

Pass on these:

• Pie Tins (these are not good for baking because they tend to rust) ALTHOUGH, they are good for kids crafts and play.
• Candles – they don’t smell that good and even if they do in the store, the scent doesn’t last once lit in my opinion
• Coffee Mugs – I have heard from several readers that these leak and the lids don’t stay on
• Toilet Paper – this is usually very thing and doesn’t work all that well.  😳

Art and Supplies:

Things to buy:

• Large Activity Coloring books – these are very big and the kids will have a blast with them (some even have stickers)
• Teacher corner – there are great tools here for not only teachers but homeschoolers, preschoolers or just if you want to teach some fun stuff to your kids. They also have sticker books which would be great for chores!  😉
• Sewing kits with bags – $1…enough said!
• Pom poms, felt, foam board, craft supplies
• Safety pins – I hear these run out often so if you see them, snatch them up!
• Vinyl Decals for decorating and for kid’s rooms – these are SUPER cute and can totally change the look of room or bathroom for just $1…I say yes!
• Poster board

Pass on these:

•  Glue sticks – they tend to be dried out or dry out fast after opened
• Frames – these usually break when you are trying to even just put the photo in… see what I mean?
• Garage sale signs – I say no because you can easily look across the aisle and find the BRIGHT colored poster board priced at $0.69 then cut them in half and you’ve got 2 signs so just about $0.35 each instead of $1.
• Crayons – they don’t work… weird huh? No really, the color is super dull.
• Playdough – this stuff is usually dried out….if you find one that’s not, you’re lucky!
• School supplies – you can usually always get better deals from places like Staples, Office Max etc as long as you buy at the right time…starting in about July and August they offer $0.01 deals, freebies and more. Just watch Raining Hot Coupons and I post them all Summer long.

Miscellaneous:

Things to buy:

• 3 pack socks that makes each pair about $0.33 each!
• Disposal bags for when walking pets – you get a ton for super cheap
• Big bottle of Bubbles – lots of Summer fun with these!
• Flip Flops – now I can’t say these are going to last but I’ve found that most $1 flip flops anywhere you get them don’t last long. They are great for public pools, the beach, etc so you don’t have to worry about someone taking them.
• Puzzles – great for the kids or even party favors or Birthday party game gifts
• Pack of Littles Toys – I LOVE to use the packs of insects, glowing stars, dinosaurs, erasers, etc for Pinatas! They work out perfect because you get quite a few for just $1.

Pass on these:

• Toy Cars – these tend to be very cheap and break (the plastic is flimsy)
• Outdoor lights – this may seem like a great deal but they don’t last long at all
• Lighters – don’t really work long
• Goggles – the water seeps through  😐
• Batteries – don’t last
• Anything electronic – according to many readers opinions and my own, anything electronic never last long.

Hope that helps….do you have anything to add to the list?! I would love to hear….

How To Keep Bananas Fresh

Bananas are known to start getting ripe quickly after you buy them and sometimes only end up lasting a few days. I know for me when they start to ripen at a fast pace I generally throw them in the freezer to keep them for baking. However, I love to have fresh bananas around the house, so it was a matter of finding out how to keep them fresh for a longer period of time. Below I have listed a few methods that work to keep your bananas fresh for longer than a few days! Check it out:

1. Wrap the stems with saran wrap while they are sitting on your counter.  This prevents the gases that bananas give off from ripening your bunch of bananas. Now this won’t stop the process completely but it will seriously help lengthen the life of your bananas. Another way to do this is to separate your bananas and wrap each stem separately. 
2. You can also do the same process above but use tinfoil instead. This will essentially do the same thing and keep your bananas fresh for a few days.
3. Storing your bunch of bananas in a warm place is also another great way to slow the ripening process. If you were to store them somewhere like the fridge you would have black bananas before you could blink an eye. I find keeping them at room temperature on my counter top does the trick and keeps them nice.
4. Hang them on banana hanger.  Hanging them will prevent bruising from forming on the bottom and will preserve them nicely till your ready to eat them.

2. Pre sort: Pre sorting all your laundry is a huge time saver. If you have the space, label dedicated baskets in your laundry room or bedroom, one for whites and one for darks. This way when you go to do laundry it will be pre organized and ready to go!
3. Dryer Maintenance: A really important part of your laundry is the drying process. You want to keep your dryer running as efficiently as possible to save you time. This means cleaning out the dryer lint, making sure there is no loose change or items in the machine and make sure to put in even loads so you don’t overload your dryer.
4. Recruit Help: If you have kids, why not teach them all about laundry! They are perfect for helping when it comes to folding, sorting and putting away clothes. Not only does it teach them a new skill it will save you time on tasks you would usually do yourself.
5. Organized: Keeping your laundry room organized will make a huge difference day-to-day. By keeping out the clutter you can be more efficient when sorting and washing!

How To Keep Your Fridge Shelves Clean

Cleaning your fridge can be a time consuming process and sometimes it’s hard to achieve the cleanliness level you would like. Well there is officially a better way to keep your fridge shelves clean for longer and it won’t involve vigorous scrubbing.

Remove your fridge shelves and give them a good initial clean. Once they have dried cover the top surface with Saran Wrap Press & Seal, most times you’ll find it in clear but sometimes you can find it with a cute pattern.  Once it has applied nicely, slide your shelves back into the fridge and you are done! Now, one set of wrapping can last up to 6 months at a time as long as you wipe up spills as they happen. If you do happen to  have a big spill, water and vinegar will help to clean off the liners if they aren’t up for a replacement.

Once you notice they are looking a little tired, repeat the above process! This will not only keep your fridge shelves clean, it will give you extra time that you would have spent scrubbing down your fridge to do something fun!
