Extra Water Storage

I've been using my extra canning jars for additional water storage. Whenever I use a jar, I wash it and the lid & band, and fill it up with clean water and replace the lid. I then store it on the shelf until I need it again for canning. This way I not only have extra water, but also clean jars, when I need them again. (Just make sure you use "new" lids next time you can again!)
