I am your typical housewife living in high maintenance suburbia. I have a handsome husband, 2 kids and a flock of pet chickens. I try and feed my family with $100 a month. With the help of coupons, gardening and bartering I am able to squeeze the most out of our grocery budget and still manage to have a little fun along the way.

Jelly Bean Mason Jar

There is something so poetic about a chick feeder becoming an Easter jelly bean dispenser.  Poetic and easy.  What could be better?

Supplies You’ll Need:

  • A chick feeder base {Farm stores carry these}
  • Clean mason jar
  • Jelly beans
  • Funnel

Wash the chick feeder in hot soapy water.  Dry completely.

Funnel jelly beans into the mason jar, leaving enough head space to easily screw on the base of the chick feeder.

Screw on the base, while the jar is still upright.

Flip it over and proceed to eat all of the purple and pink jelly beans out of the feeder before the kids have a chance to get at it. Now how easy was that?

    • I think it’s a little more fun than just putting jelly beans in a bowl. 🙂 Makes them taste better. 🙂
