Muffy1938 – I know what you mean about the FoodSaver jar sealer attachment. I did the same thing when I first got mine – rummaged through all my pantry shelves looking for more and more things to vacuum seal in jars, then started bringing home more and more dried foods from the grocery store because they’d just fit/look so nice in the canning jars, LOL. Then I started keeping track of how much of each particular type of dried food I could fit in a pint, or quart, or half-gallon jar so when I shopped for new food items I could get enough to exactly fill the number of jars I had available without any left over beans, rice, etc. 🙂
