The ONLY ones I save are Bon Maman jelly and jam jars.

@Sooner  I will have to say those are nice looking jars.

---

@proudlyfromNJ AND good stuff inside!  I love the cherry preserves on yogurt!!!!

---

Those cherry preserves are also great over vanilla ice cream!

---

@Sooner+@proudlyfromNJ+@peachesncream: Have you seen the Bonne Maman mini jar advent calendars at World Market? We have been buying them for a few years now and LOVE them! The jars seem tiny, but they actually hold the perfect amount for a nicely jammy sandwich, toast, or topping for ice cream or yogurt. The calendars have a wonderful variety of specialty flavors and are always really well crafted; they make great gifts (especially for yourself). If you are interested in checking them out, buy before mid-November, because they sell out quickly...

@loriqvc FUNNY you should mention that!   I just found out about them last year and had to scramble to get one. For this year mine is safely in my pantry now!  We can't wait to open it!

I love their products and keep ALL of those jars!  

THANKS so much for mentioning this!  My sister in a jam!

Don't people "save jars" anymore?

@Desertdi  I save/use jars to use when I'm frying food and the oil can't be used anymore I pour it in a jar, seal and toss in trash.  My SIL pours hers down the sink and has a lot of slow draining sinks which my brother is always snaking out their drain.

yes i save glass jars (some, not all).  I am getting rid of ALL my plastic and going to just glass.

I do, but just the nice ones.  I also save glass Snapple bottles and refill them. I recycle the plastic ones.

@Desertdi  No.

@proudlyfromNJ     I guess I'm the "oddball"  (!!!)

@Desertdi  @proudlyfromNJ 

would like to introduce you to DH:  he hasn't met a jar, container, or bottle that he doesn't have to save !!!

@jlkz @proudlyfromNJ

---

DH has the right idea.....jars are perfect for nuts, bolts, all kinds of small fasteners.   Also for buttons and sewing supplies!

---

@jlkz   DH still has all of my baby food jars full of screws.  They were hot when I taught tole painting!

I do extremely well with this set.  No transference.  

The lids snap on to the bottom of the container, or all of the lids snap together.  No leaching when microwaving.

[furbabylover]

@ECBG  I really like the idea of the snapping lids. Can you tell me what brand this is? Thanks.

[ECBG]

@furbabylover 

Rubbermade.  Microwave (no leaching) and dw safe.

The same set is now made with vented lids.  They're on amazon.  I bought 3 sets at Sams.
