with a little care four pint sized glass jars can cost about $2
and last longer than most people will be alive. i don't like to
store food in plastic. i can at least stomach a plastic lid
because the food isn't in contact with the lid much at all, but
the main thing is if i can smell and/or taste the plastic. with
canning lids it is the same way, but i'm always careful to not
tip jars so when i remove a lid from the tomatoes it usually
shows no sign of coming in contact with the contents.
