4. Coffee creamer storage containers (h/t Frugelegance)
So many small items come in plastic bags. Just one overzealous rip and your bag is not effective at containing the food anymore. Coffee creamer containers are perfect for organizing small foods, such as cereals for snacking, chocolate chips, and nuts.
5. Create a pouring jar
Glass jars make excellent food storage solutions. Here’s a creative solution for storing dry goods in mason jars. You simply use the pour spout off a salt container to create an easy pour spout. It works great for sugar, herbs, drink mixes, and other dry items.
6. Creatively clean hands (h/t Bay Witch Musings)
Use those old glass soda bottles to create whimsical hand soap, dish soap, and baking soda dispensers. The pour spouts and corks can be found online or at your local craft store.
7. Spin your condiments (h/t A Casarella)
