Where to find inexpensive jars for making mix in a jar gifts

If you are making "Mix in a Jar" gifts for the holidays, using recycled margarine containers isn't really making the best visual presentation. But buying jars new can be quite expensive, so here are some places you can find jars for cheap!

• Garage & yard sales - the best source!
• Thrift Shops
• Dollar stores
• Ask friends & family for unneeded jars
• Re-use jars, carefully cleaning and removing labels
• Ask for the jars back when the recipe is used... with promises it will be returned with a new recipe :)

With some of these ideas, you should be able to have enough jars to get you through your gift giving season this year!
