Small jars are great but I want big jars, BIG ones, like these:

the ones on the top left, with cinnamon maybe?
Big jars are my white whale.
Very pretty - love #'s 5 and 9 BUT I've sworn off round jars and am looking for square ones to try to use my limited kitchen space well. Any suggestions?
These are so cute. I just reorganized my pantry with a combination of the big 5.5 L snapware (for baking staples) and quart sized mason jars for bulk items such as beans and grains of which I only use a cup or so at a time. They are definitely not as cute, but were cheap and practical!
I tend to buy in bulk when possible, so I'll forgo style for capacity. I have two sets of Tupperware canisters (one old orange set and one new white set with red lids), and a super-big one (green, from last year) that stays in the pantry.
I save pickle jars and pasta sauce jars and wash them, rinse with vinegar and then water, and use them for food storage. I hate using plastic and I keep an eye out for the jars when I'm grocery shopping :D
