Ball wide mouth pint jarIdeal for preserving jams, jellies sauces, mustard & flavored vinegarCustom time tested sealing compound help ensure a quality seal with each lidBrushed silver design on the outside lid matches kitchen designs; Jars are not plain jarsRefrigerate up to 3 weeks, freeze up to 1 year, fresh preserve and store up to 1 year
"can and freeze jars" look like this.
I've done endless batches of chili in them, but don't think it's tempered glass or anything. They do not go from freezer to microwave. It's best to let them thaw out in the fridge the night or two before and move to a lunch container to reheat later that day. I like borosilicate glass food storage containers with the plastic snap lid
Also, because you're not pressure canning, I would buy these plastic lids and reuse them over and over.
(non-payola amazon link because of photo and server uptime, buy them where you want.)
For those looking, I mean mason jars like this I believe fit some diameters of press filters (or you can create a custom screen/trim a stock screen if you need it just a tiny scoche bigger, smaller)

And you're all set.
Everybody loves blender bottles. Well, mostly. Some people prefer glass. In that case there are plenty of wide mouth jars that fit the bill.
Wide mouths for adding powder/cleaning. Easy to seal for shaking. Feel free to shop around and find better deals than my hasty links. These are also easy to find in grocery stores in my experience.
Mason jars are designed for this exact type of use and are smell proof. I use half gallon - wide mouthed Ball jars, but you can use any size. (get the wide mouthed version whatever size you choose!) Put the mason jars in a box, cabinet or mini fridge. Using a mini fridge: they will be kept in 100% darkness, the temp will be regulated, and the humidity will not matter because of the jars. Stay away from plastic containers as they generally (but not always) will leak smell/humidity. Glass is the way to go. I doubt there is anything commercially available that will do exactly what you're looking for without using mason jars. Cigar storage containers/boxes/humidors are designed to breath, which is the opposite of what you want.
These are them. They're the same diameter and half the height of these.
Wide-mouth mason jars are super-useful for food storage.
I got a 16oz and 32oz pack of these from target recently for tea storage.

I use the wide mouth pint ones that have a picture of asparagus on them and it's a perfect fit for probably 95% of bath bombs. These are pretty smooth all the way down so you don't have to worry about getting it over bumps and it pops back it perfectly. The only ones I've had issues with have been Golden Wonder and occasionally Big Blue if the center piece hasn't been smoothed over.
These are the most recommended jars to use, and they're inexpensive as well.
There are also smaller sized ones to look at, good when storing small amounts of tobacco, or when traveling.
There are almost always seasonal sales at your local supermarket / hypermarket, these will be the best deal.
Meijer and super Walmart are going to have equivalent base prices (or cheaper) than Amazon and in the fall will have various types of 20%, 33%, and on some luxury items 50%. For example, a quick google search shows a 2016 summer sale at Meijer $6.15 for 12 pint jars (not even a good sale) compared to random guy on Amazon 17.44 for 12 pint jars.
The only way to beat the hypermarket prices is to find local used jars on Craiglist, Ebay, or Salvation Army and pick them up. Even then, you'll need to buy new lids which makes the savings pretty small unless you get a great deal.
Wide mouth Ball canning jars (mason jars) work completely fine, buy 'em as a case of jars in the canning/baking isle at a supermarket in various sizes, pretty cheap.
Half-gallon
Pint
Quart
Grocery stores will usually have them available as single jars, and in smaller sizes as well for a travel jar or such.
The flip latch lids are just a little nicer/easier than the screw top on a mason jar.
For storing paraphernalia/lighters/whatevs, nothing beats a nice wooden box. Now, onto airtight containers for the ganj itself.
This is my foolproof method for un-smelling your stash. It got me through a year in the dorms with an active RA. First, you'll want a prescription pill bottle. I linked to Amazon in case you don't have one lying around. Next, you'll need a mason jar. That link will buy you twelve, so you can use the other ones to drink out of/store produce or jams or jellies/make candles/do shenanigans. You place the pill bottle into the jar, and-here's the genius part I have yet to see on Reddit-fill the jar with ground-up coffee. Fresh stuff is preferable, as is stronger stuff. Seal the jar. Enjoy the incognito storage.
amazon has a deal on jars\

Happy to help! Pickling is one of those cooking things that I love because it's so simple. You put stuff in a jar, and then forget about it for a while. I can handle that.
I usually just get these: http://www.amazon.com/Ball-Mason-Jars-Wide-Mouth-Freeze/dp/B001DIZ1NO
they're available all over the place, really nice and well made, work for canning and dry goods storage, and they come in every size known to man.
Make sure that you throw a label with the date you started the pickling on it, or be a heathen like me and just write on the jar and then scribble it out when you put something new in. Its pretty handy to know how long stuff has been in there.
If you eat meat, get a digital instant read thermometer.
It takes guessing out of knowing when meat is safe and not over cooked.
Roast a whole, spatchcocked chicken. You’ll have chicken to eat all week.
Save the bones/carcass.
When you have the bones from 2 birds, make chicken soup.
I save back ~6 wide mouth 16oz mason jars with plastic lids of chicken soup (no noodles) to freeze.
I cook the noodles separately.
When I cook pasta, I do 2 lbs, or rice, 1 and half cups dry, and refrigerate the extra.
When you are at the grocery store, check the “old” discounted meat for steaks.
Reverse sear steaks- plural.
You can refrigerate and then thin slice for sandwiches.

These are in all the grocery stores where I live, too.
I use regular ol' canning jars, like these They have screw on lids, nothing special about sealing them. Yes, I reheat, but not in the jars, that gets too hot. I dump my stew out into a microwave safe bowl and nuke it in my office.
Why wouldn't you just buy them on Amazon?
