    I just store them in very large jars. I have several of these now. Don’t know where to put them anymore.

    I blame Ocarina of Time, wherein glass jars are extraordinarily useful and difficult to acquire. Oh, there’s also only four of them in existence. Cleaned-out peanut butter jars are basically Blue Eyes White Dragons.

    Most of those jars are perfect containers for weed.

    I grow a bunch of weed for personal use and one year I grew so much I ran out of jars. I have probably ~50 or so 16oz mason jars as a result.

    That was a good year!

      They would also make for incredible piss jars though, and they would be excellent for preserving strange animals / body parts. You have to consider all the angles!

    There’s some Albertson’s trail mix that I sort of tolerate, but buy lots of because I really like the containers it comes in for storing screws and stuff in the garage.

    I think my dad did similar with Yuban coffee because he’s got custom built shelves in his shop to hold over a hundred of those old steel cans.

    Some bulk food stores let you bring your own. You put a sticker on them with the bulk item # and also the dry weight, so it’s a little more work, but then you can put your jars to use!

    “Just look at all these pens and ink! I could write so many things: poetry, history, my deepest secrets, a book that changes the world!”

    “So, what are you currently writing?”

    “Well, nothing…”

    They have potential. They always endup being used. Sometimes, to make better use of space I might swap bigger jars with smaller ones depending on the content. In the storage cabinet, bigger jars can contain smaller ones.

    There’s a local store, where you can bring your glass jars and they fill you up with all kinds of dry foods. Since I’ve started buying there, I’ll look in normal stores specifically for products that come in decent-looking jars. 🙃

      Instead of separating grocery stores by Vegetable, Dairy, etc, we should separate them into Dry Goods, Moist Goods, Wet Goods, and Iced Goods.

    Oof. I also have a couple of really good bottles … I sometimes use them for premade cocktails or when I buy a bottle of spirit or wine that really needs a better container.
