I have been searching and searching for pretty apothecary jars, but I didnt want to pay $20 for them. The candy alone is costing us at least $200 bucks, so saving money on the jars was important. So the hunt began, I went to michaels, TJ Maxx, Home Goods etc and the jars were all $20 on average...too much. So when I was on one of my trips to walmart, yes, WALMART! I found these...
and these....
and these...
These are not my actual jars (obviously) because my iphone is misbehaving right now and not letting me upload pictures, but these are identical. They had a ton of different styles and I was able to get ALL of my jars here.
The BEST part was NONE of the jars were over $10 and in fact most were between $5-$7 but ranged from $4-$10. We spent $100 on 12 jars WOOT WOOT!
I saw the exact same pedestal vase/jar that I loved at michaels for $24.99 at walmart for $10
Be sure to check in the kitchen section and in the vase section. They also have super large brandy glasses for $10 along with some other very pretty ones. I am not sure how the prices range in different areas (I live in NC) but I cant imagine them being more expensive than other places. I know you can find them at second hand stores but I wasnt having any luck. I hope this helps you guys out, Best wishes!
I was just at my TJ Maxx in Grand Forks ND.. and they HAD THE CUTEST ever set (3) of glass with pedistal cake plates with lids. OMG they were adorable! But your right today I picked up a great apothocary at TJ Maxx. It was stunning, large, perfect in every way and only 10.00! I was going to get another most perfect one, but I found a chip and they would only take 99cents off for the little crack!!!!
Hey yall! I found the first set in the cookie jar section (if that makes sense). It was in the section with all the other glass cookie jars I found. On that aisle was also pans and utensils. Drawer nick-nacks (such as a can opener), spatulas, stirring spoons, lunch boxes etc. They were down on the bottom shelf. I hope that helps!
You're welcome! I forgot to also say to check in the section with the wine glasses etc in your walmart. All walmarts are layed out so differently. good luck!
What did you type in on walmarts website to find the top photo. I was unable to find them at my walmart so hopefully they are able to be ordered offline. I am just having trouble finding them. Thanks!

posted by ashleetoo 1 year agoThe first photo...the pedistals with lids...what section did you find those in? How long ago?
Great find....I love a deal!
posted by MassageBee 1 year agoI haven't seen the first ones at walmart either! Can you please let me know what section they were in? I love those!
posted by aweilacher 1 year agoOhhhh great idea! When I think of jars for weddings, I immediately imagine sifting through tons of thrift stores. This is easier!

posted by MaxineB 1 year agoI really like that second set, which you can use as canisters for your flour and sugar, or as a cookie jar after the wedding.
