I don't think Rainbow Dash likes where this is going.

That cursed post has forever ruined jars for me

[-] drolex@sopuli.xyz 29 points 1 week ago

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

[-] serfraser@sopuli.xyz 24 points 1 week ago

I keep my very large jars full of jars in these massive cylindrical glass containers with lids on. Can't think of the name for them but they do the job.

That sounds like those Russian dolls where there’s a doll inside a doll inside a doll can’t remember the name lol

I'm gonna take this moment to be pedantic for the sake of education. Cabinets do not do the act of storing as is suggested by your title. They house. You store.

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

You store.

I read that as an insult.

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Ha, you are very right. I've slightly edited the title to fix this.

You know what grinds my gears? I give someone a jar of my homemade jam, or of honey from my bees, in one of my GOOD jars, and I never see that jar again. One "friend" said she had some jars, did I want them? Yes please! Aaaand they were weird tall skinny jars or tiny sample size jars, all with the labels still on. Straight in the recycling bin. I should have kept them and given her a tiny sample jar of honey instead of the normal pound.

Rant over.

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 week ago

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. 🙃

[-] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago

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

Many indoor plants can be propagated in glass jars of water. And you can stick those jars in pots if you want. You can forget about watering them for weeks and it's fine

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.

The jars....THEY CALL TO ME!

You can store so many things in there! Soup blue potion, bugs, a fish, you name it!

Your day will come and it will all be worth it. My day came when the mice arrived. My wife, the one who holds me back, let me loose. Glass jars to the moon! Mice had no chance! I am king again. Brrruhhshahhahaahaha! Cackle cackle evil victory laugh.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Mice musta thought you invented some kind of forcefield to protect your food. They can see it, but they can't get to it!

When our kids got old enough my wife threw out the plastic, Ikea flower cups that the rest of us all loved. She wanted us to use more grown up cups. We now all drink exclusively from her mason jars.

[-] inv3r5ion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 week ago

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!

No, I need more empty jars! What else should I put in all those neat empty boxes I collected?

[-] dragnucs@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago

Who tf disposes glass jars. I understand plastic but as long as you have space, why would you throw them.

I was sure this was the ADHD section

[-] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 6 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] negativenull@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Just like the Taoism concept of 'Pu', or the un-carved block, being a symbol of pure potential, an empty bottle is also pure potential

Jars make cute pots for small plants.

[-] rothaine@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] qjkxbmwvz@startrek.website 5 points 1 week ago

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!

[-] Sawblade02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] Redditsux@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

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

[-] shadowedcross@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago

This is my partner with jars.

[-] MrShankles@reddthat.com 7 points 1 week ago

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

[-] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

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.

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 the store only exists to separate rich people from their money.

[-] SausageWallet@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago

I really got hung up on the "reuse" part of reduce, reuse, recycle.

[-] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 week ago

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

[-] OpenStars@piefed.social 4 points 1 week ago

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