I have an entire cabinet currently used to store empty jars...

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.

This is my partner with jars.
- Same. Our agreement is that she can keep glass containers, and I can keep old electronics. We keep each other in check lol

- 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.

I don't think Rainbow Dash likes where this is going.
- This is some advanced brain rot
- That cursed post has forever ruined jars for me

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

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

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.

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

"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..."

You can store so many things in there! Soup blue potion, bugs, a fish, you name it!
- If you live in an apartment, you can make your neighbors love you by making garum, an ancient Roman fish sauce, in a jar, indoors, in your apartment!
- Why he droppa da fish?

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.

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 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.

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

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 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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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.
