Dollarama has lots of different sized jars, the kind with the rubber
ring and wire closing. Some are two for a buck, some a dollar each. If
you like them to be on display, you can buy printed labels. I keep mine
in a cupboard, so I just use a piece of masking tape. It peels off
really easy when it's time to wash the jar. I also use empty jam jars
for some. I use E.D. Smith sugar free jam and I wash out the little
jars it comes in and use them too, since they hold quite a lot.
