Or little plastic bottles

Or little ziploc baggies

Suuureee I might not know right then what I’m gonna put in it. But I’ll be sure to find something! xD

    Little jars are great to hold screws when you need to take something apart to work on it.

      I swapped to egg cartons. Many attached “compartments” in sequence make them convenient. As a bonus, it used to piss off my parents, who were incapable of organizing their projects, because egg cartons look silly.

                Most packaging is stackable open or closed or both because it has to be efficient at one point. There are still dozens of sizes and standards for cylindrical steel cans though, very annoying when you have a lot of different ones and some are imported, so they’re almost exactly the same size as some of your local ones but won’t stack because the lips are the wrong size.

      My issue is that I can’t use jars for a purpose like that unless I have enough matching little jars.

      If I have a pile of screws with 20 different types of screws, I will need 20 identical jars before I use them to hold that pile of screws.

      Now I’ll have a loose pile of screws and a pile of 30+ mismatching jars awaiting a final purpose.

    I use em for toiletries mostly. Like lotion, hair product, facial cleanser, makeup remover, etc. Very useful for traveling👍🏼

    There is a point in life where you can’t just throw out a good jar or a good box. That threshold was 35 years old for me 😅

    Hordes is the wrong word, as I’m constantly utilizing those little fuckers. Great capsules for derusting small metal parts in vinegar for a few days. Single-piece jar caps turned upside down are great for keeping track of groups of screws and other small hardware during builds.

      You see hillbilly shot glass. I’m thinking it’s begging for a nice nug of cannabis. We aren’t all that different.

    Omg yes, my partner and I have a real problem keeping jars of all sorts. Every now and then I have to empty a cabinet or two full of them into the recycling when my partner isn’t looking.

    Yesss! I order from Etsy shops, enamel pin creators, and other independent artists super often and they always pack everything soooo cute. I have a shelf in one of my cabinets with all their little baggies and boxes that I use to store and organize various things. They are so handy!
