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!
I have an entire cabinet currently storing empty jars...

My grandfather always had tons of babyfood jars full of nuts and bolts, pins, and screws

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.

Jars make cute pots for small decorative plants.

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!

Walking into The Container Store always makes me feel good about my glass jar collection when I see them charge like $8 to $10 for a single glass jar. Their “luxury acrylic” jars are about half the cost of that… I know that store only exists to separate rich people from their money.

Start growing/foraging plants and drying them. When you do that, you can never have enough jars.

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.

A jar offers peak utility when empty - so much efficiency!

My wife is the culprit in our house. Should I get her screened…?

I remember before I stopped drinking I loved collecting the extravagant liquor bottles. I must have had a dozen of the old kahlua ones that were all dimpled and ridged, and the cool but terrible tasting tequila skulls.

Weirdly, I do the opposite - I collect bottles that are simple, lightweight and a practical shape (i.e. cylindrical instead of bulbous, not to too tall, not too squat) and there’s a decent chance that I’ll decant liquor that comes in an extravagant bottle (though the bottles I’m most likely to decant are those that are too tall for my shelves or contain 1l - that’s just a lot of weight when you want to pour exactly 20 ml).

Kombucha time!
zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 3 days ago
I’m happy that kombucha is popular now, and you can buy it in the store. What I’m not happy about is you can’t find plain flavor! It always has some kind of fruit juice in it.

I remember I used to buy the plain big bottle of gts to start my home kombucha whenever I would take a break but I haven’t seen it stocked anymore
