Group Buy: Milk Carriers and Pour Caps

Due to many requests from new and regular members we are doing a group buy for Milk Carriers from Yesteryear Homewares and Mason Jar Pour Caps from reCap.

The milk carriers make it a lot easier to carry the glass milk jars and also ensures they don’t bump up against another and possibly crack.

“Don’t cry over spilled milk.” The person who coined this phrase obviously does not buy milk from the co-op! In an effort to make the milk from glass Mason jars a little easier to pour I have found an ingenious product- mason jar pour caps from reCap Mason Jars.

One would think that Mason jars have been around since 1858 that there would be plenty of products that would solve this problem but this is the only one I could find. It is made of BPA-free plastic and designed to coordinate with the charming vintage zinc caps.

Proudly made in the USA, spill-proof, top rack dishwasher safe and can be used on all wide mouth mason jars. “Shake, Pour, Store: – grains and cereals – maple syrup, honey, milk… – homemade dressing – household cleaners”.

We are able to get bulk pricing and the caps are only $5.50 each and milk carriers are $7.50. Price include shipping, taxes and fees. We have to reach certain minimums to get this pricing.
