Half Gallon Jar Food Storage

 In our neck of the woods, we have millers (tiny moths) that invade most any dry baking ingredient in the kitchen.  They leave behind "cobwebs" in our flour, cornmeal, sugar, rice, etc.  it's very aggravating to dump out a whole sack of flour because due to the offspring of these tiny pests.  I have found the best solution is screw top lid containers.  While this could quickly get expensive, I was able to find gallon canning jars at Wal-mart at $15.97 for a 6-pack. (So it's about $2.67/Jar when you break it down - quite reasonable!) 

Here are the things you will need:

 

  

1.) run the jars, lids & rims through the dishwasher to sterilize them.

2.) paint each of the lids generously with the black spray paint.

 

3.) use the paint pen to label each lid.

 

4.) fill each jar and screw on the lids and you are set!
