Jars/Bowls for Candy Buffett

I bought mine from Michaels over a period of a few weeks. Michaels almost always has a 40% off one item coupon on their website and they can scan it right on your smartphone. So I just went every few days and bought one jar at a time each for 40% off.

Marshall's, Ross, garage sales, zulilly.com, Tuesday Morning

Check your local dollar store! They have different shape and size glass bowls.

Dollar tree, thrift stores, garage sales!

I just got a bunch of apothecary jars at a yard sale, I have enough for my entire candy buffet, now I have to store them for 14 months. Lol

I bought these huge 2 gallon jars from Walmart for $10 each. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Anchor-Hocking-69372MN-2-Gallon-Glass-Heritage-Jar/16486707

Amazon! I found 72 votive candles with the candle holders for about $30. I know that's more than what you want to spend but depending on how many you need you can probably find a good price

Dollar tree!

Hobby Lobby should have a ton of apothecary jars....

They also always have a 40% off coupon and their sales alternate weekly so at least once a month you can catch their glass products for 50% off.

I got all my jars from HL, Michaels, AC Moore, TJ Maxx, Marshalls and Home Goods and didn't spend more than $15.00 on a single one.

Check your local craigslist page, and also thrift shops.

Walmart has some around $10 and the ones I got from the Dollar Store are not actually meant for food. They are for flowers or potpourri but look just the same. They were in the party aisle.

Try goodwill I went there for a basket for flower girls and got for $4 saw alot of jars / flower vases on shelves

I've been picking them up here and there. Christmas Tree shop had some funky ones for $5-$10 each. I got a few flattened fish bowls looking jars at A.c. Moore for $3.99. Picked up a few apothecary jars at Marshall's for under $10 each.

If you do not mind plastic go to Party City that is where I have mine priced from, here is what I have priced from them.

I went thrift shopping if you look for coupons, they do half off days and other incentives. I found all I needed in maybe three tips, using the 50% + 25% coupon, and I only spent $40. All glass, all vintage looking, and that $40 included cake stand materials, too.

I bought all of mine from Party City where they have all their candy! Most I paid was 5 dollars for one but most were 2-3 dollars.

I bought 15 different glass apothecary jars even the large ones from TJ Maxx, Marshalls and Burlington Coat Factory and spent $135. The most I paid for 1 jar was $19.99 and that was a extra large jar

Glass Vases Depot. They sell them individually and by the case. I got square vases by the case and it came down to only $2 a vase.

I borrowed some of mine from friends and family as well as picked some up at thrift stores. If you have facebook maybe you can find some there too. We have several buy & sell pages where people can list what they are selling or looking to buy. Another place to check is if you have any bridal consignment shops. Good luck!

I am thinking about doing a candy buffet and I have glass dishes from when I did a candy buffet for my daughter's high school graduation but my I am afraid they won't be big enough. So I went to thinking about cheap candy holders. I came up with baskets. I have a ton of them already and what I don't have a friend or family member might. If not they can be bought at the thrift store for pennies. The baskets can be fancied up with material, lace, and flowers. I don't know your theme or how many different candies your having but at the dollar store here they have hat boxes for less than 5 bucks a piece. That might be an option for you too. Good Luck!!!!
