Who uses those sugar, tea and coffee jars?

I don't see the point because teabags come in a resealable pack, coffee in a jar and I don't ever have any sugar in the house.

I use them because they look better sitting on the counter than the packet the goods came in. I'm fussy like that.

We keep a bit of sugar in the house because tradespeople often like it, no one of our acquaintance takes sugar. I have a sweetener in my hot drinks.

We don't take sugar but we have a pair of little glass jars, one for white, one for brown ... for when we have guests. They go on the kitchen/dining table.

Same here...
I dont like seeing packets out on show so usually like to store stuff in pretty ornate jars or storage tubs with lids.

My husband and I have two cups of instant coffee and two cups of tea (teabags) a day, the rest of the time we drink water.

Re: Who uses those sugar, tea and coffee jars?

I'm pretty much the same - 2 coffees and 1 cup of tea a day.

Of course in hospital it was different, they were always asking me whether I wanted a tea or coffee so my intake perhaps doubled. The routines in hospital are quite dull so it helps break the day up.
