Sharpie trick, priceless! How have I reached the ripe Saturn year (28) without knowing this. Ah, now I can stop grouching at the thrift stores who mark prices in Sharpie. I’ll just pull out the rubbing alcohol! Thanks

what a great tip with the sharpies on glass!! I have been writing on freezer tape with sharpies and then sticking it on to label stuff. But no more!

grocery stores use this same technique, always take from the back of the shelf/cooler!

Great tip! Having worked in food service for quite a few years, stock rotation is habit for me. I forget that it’s not habit for everyone else. Lovely!

I got a jar with grids from a lady who was selling her mother’s old canning supplies. I was thinking about gifting it, but I think there are few people who would appreciate it enough.

Those jars with the grid design used to come with Hoosier cabinets, way back in the day. I’ve picked up a few here and there and I love them!

I do the same thing as you. It is always so thrilling when you manage to buy just the right amount to fill your jar but a little too much popcorn for the jar is a nice excuse to pop yourself a bowlful. And you have some of those jars with the grid design! I love them but my mom won’t share any of her jars like that with me.
