I'm Julie, and I live with my husband and three young daughters in New South Wales suburbia, Australia. This is the online journal I kept until recently, of how we are trying to live more simply & sustainably in suburbia.

This blog is on indefinite hiatus but please feel free to look around my archives for some inspiration in your own journey to living more lightly and sustainably.

Just a quickie...

For the Aussies: Spotlight has 20% off homewares today until 9pm, and I just picked up three 3 litre preserving jars for $8 each.



I normally buy preserving jars second hand - I use them for storing my bulk nuts, seed, dried fruits etc - but it's difficult to find large glass storage jars and I have never come across square-sided jars as large as these in my travels (they also had 4 litre jars which were round-sided). When storage space is at a premium, square-sided jars which pack together more efficiently are a huge plus!


Cheers,

Gee I wish we had a spotlight near I'd love to buy some of these! Hiking out to Queanbeyan on a bus during a 37 degree day is not something that appeals.
Well stash it away for a rainy day I guess.

I agree Julie, square sided jars, best for cupboard space. A woman must have thought that one out !!
