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.
I have never been more attacked by a post in my life
I just store them in very large jars. I have several of these now. Don’t know where to put them anymore.
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
Wooden doll-jars?

Thank you!
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!
“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…”
To real. Pretty good chance that when I do want to write something (e.g. birthday cards), my pen is dried up and it’s a whole thing to make it write well again …
I really got hung up on the “reuse” part of reduce, reuse, recycle.
Start growing/foraging plants and drying them. When you do that, you can never have enough jars.

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.

A jar offers peak utility when empty - so much efficiency!
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.
Mice musta thought you invented some kind of forcefield to protect your food. They can see it, but they can’t get to it!
A wizard! Tis why they fled.
Jars are perfect for lacto fermentating anything
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.

Ha, you are very right. I’ve slightly edited the title to fix this.
You store.
I read that as an insult.
