    Oh god so true. My mother has this disease. Half of the shelves in her kitchen are filled with these empty bottles. And she’s stacking up filled jars on the counters! Grrrrrrrrr

    I’m now using clean peanut butter jars as mini green houses for pots, to help seeds sprout. See! I need to save every single one!

    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. 🙃

      A friend posted this meme on Facebook and my thoughts immediately went to Ocarina of Time. Was Miyamoto also a jar collector? How many jar-obcessed children did this game create?!

    I don’t have space for empty jar storage. Or full jar storage. I wish I did though. I barely have room for dishes. Jars are cool.

      Same. Our agreement is that she can keep glass containers, and I can keep old electronics. We keep each other in check lol

    Anything you buy that comes in a bag can be moved into a jar. It saves a lot of space because jars tesselate nicer and can use up vertical space more efficiently. It also encourages you to actually use the things you buy because you’ve now removed the friction of digging through piles of bags and hoping that the bag you pull out isn’t load bearing for the rest of the pile. Opening a jar is also much easier than opening/resealing bags.

    We never have enough jars in this household.

    This is me, I save all the glass jars. Also save the tide pod containers and my wife coffee cans. They all have a use.
