Eye-D Band Giveaway on Kim's Welcoming Kitchen

Here's a confession.

I have a habit.
A jar habit.

I find it incredibly difficult to get rid of my empty jam jars, salsa jars, applesauce jars.  You get the picture. I wash them, save them and store stuff in them.

The problem is that sometimes I'm not sure what I put in there. I have tried a variety of systems to mark them -- all problematic.

  • Tape. The problem with tape is that it can leave a sticky residue when you peel it off.
  • Sharpie. The problem with using a permanent marker is what if I want to put something different in the jar after I've emptied it and washed it?
  • Memory. I think the problem there is pretty obvious. 
You can imagine my excitement to learn about a new company, Eye-D Bands. These wide rubber bands are pre-printed with a wide variety of ingredients. You can use these bands to quickly identify the contents of containers, jars or canisters. When you change what you put in the container, you just need to change the band to the correct one. The wide bands have a nice grip, so they don't slide down the jar and stay right where you put them. There's no sticky residue when you're finished, and the bands are printed on both sides, so you get two labels with each band.

There are a wide range of bands for ingredients commonly found in special-diet kitchens. For example, there are bands for chia seeds, quinoa, gluten-free flour, brown rice, etc.
