I have a collection of small cardboard boxes, like they are perfect for small gifts. I've only ever used 3, but I still collect them because they have potential

I feel so seen and validated.

My wife wondering why I kept all of her fancy pudding cups, I dunno, they have potential

You never know when you might need a nice jar

I have like 40 empty prescription bottles in my sock drawer

I had to stop my SO from hoarding jars but I hoard other stuff. Like that one paperclip.

Why do I like paperclips soooo much😭

[–] dumnezero@piefed.social 6 points 2 weeks ago

They are the future.

I'll have you know that I put soap in those!

[–] Shellbeach@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Like, liquid soap or bar soaps? Is it for storage or?

[–] spooky2092@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago

Liquid soap batter. Due to allergies, I make my own soap and it makes a good amount. So I just store it in my jars until I need to make more. Then throw a weighted amount and 4x water in a different jar and simmer in boiling water until my soap is ready and can be scented.

I keep my jars on a shelf right next to the drawer for stuff, you know, the drawer for rubber bands, shoelaces, scotch tape, meat skewers and other such treasures that I'm sure I'll desperately need one day.

I have a cabinet full of empty jars. Mostly mason jars. It slowly fills as I finish a jar of jam or something I canned last year, and in September and October when it's time to make new batches I'll fill the jars again.

[–] CaptSatelliteJack@lemy.lol 3 points 2 weeks ago

They're not empty, they're full of possibilities

[–] MunkysUnkEnz0@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Same, I used them for Drinking glasses, storage, leftovers, you name it, handy to have around.

[–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

I never realized just how many jars I have until they get consolidated during a move. I use them for everything too, and any time I run low because they're all in use somewhere I acquire more. I have so many x.x

This is why my roommate hates me. I keep every jar I use, hoard plastic jugs because I think I’ll eventually recycle them, and keep shipping boxes under my bed.

I started dehydrating food to make snacks and i wish i had a collection of nice jars. I take whatever empty glass containers i can get my hands on.

[–] DragonsInARoom@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

What do you do with glass bottles?

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

Store things in them.

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago

Lots of things
