Do you save empty food jars or containers, i.e......jelly or pasta sauce jars, butter containers?


I save some. Kyle gets the most of them because he is usually taking food home in them or walks over empty handed needing sugar or flour. I grew tired of him keeping my good food containers so I started saving butter containers and the like. That way, if he doesn't return them, no big deal.

No I don’t really have a use for them

No My mom used to have an entire cabinet filled with cool whip containers. I decided as a child I would not save them.

Sometimes

I do the glass one's

Yes, I do! Not all of them, but quite a few. I believe in reusing.

For the most part no but occasionally I might. The dollar store has such a good deal that I reuse them over and over.

Sometimes I do but not usually.

The only thing I keep now are pasta jars since they are good quality mason jars, and only have about 5 of them, and chinese food containers. I find the food containers work really well for when I'm cooking. Once something is sliced, diced or chopped, I'll put it into one of the containers, move on to the next ingredient, and then clean up is a breeze.

Cool Whip containers are golden at my house!
