I refill from my jarred spices as necessary. About the only thing I use those crummy conventional spice jars for now is storing needles, tacks, garden seeds, etc. :o) I’ve been doing this for years for the stuff I keep in larger quanitites.

Also, you can attach the tins to the back of a cabinet door (which is a convenient place) with velcro strip: attach a strip of loops to the back of a cabinet door and velcro hooks to the back of your jar.
