Mason jars are useful, fun, and great for all sorts of things. In our General Merchandise Department here at City Liquidators, we are selling boxes of 12 for $15.90 per box!


What can you do with a mason jar? Below are just 10 ideas, but the variety of uses is never-ending.

1) A simple way to save the environment and your leftovers is preserving your fruits and vegetables. Sparkpeople.com has simple, easy-to-follow directions for what to do here: http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/nutrition_articles.asp?id=1365.
