I was doing laundry the other day and pulling the coins out of my husband’s pants (as I so often do) and it dawned on me that I needed a coin jar in our laundry room. I could quickly and easily have a place to toss all of the coins I find in our pants and instead of putting them on top of the washer and hoping I remember to bring them upstairs with me…I can reuse an Earth’s Best baby food jar!! Another bonus besides reusing a baby food jar? It’s a small (ok, teeny) savings! 
If you fill it up a few times a month that could easily take care of a few trips to Starbucks!
So now that my coin problem in the laundry room is solved…I’m happy! How do YOU reuse your jars? Stay tuned for more ideas from Mama on a Green Mission!
Great idea with the baby food jars. I am always finding loose change in the washer. Thanks
That is a good idea!! I’ve been putting my other grandson’s M&Ms rewards in a jar on the kitchen counter.
Reusing baby food or other small glass jars has been a multi-generational tip in our family. The hold small nuts, bolts, and screws in the tool box; sequins and tiny buttons in the sewing basket; touch up amounts of wall paint on my utility shelf; saved seeds for planting later: the list runs on
It’s the little things that make a difference! I always recycled baby jars, but it’s better to reuse them as much as possible. Thanks for another great idea!
