Or little plastic bottles

  • use them to incubate seeds
  • separate coins
  • little bits of hardware

i save mine to organize different polished stones

[–] Defectus@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Perfect for prime bud

[–] djmikeale@lemm.ee 5 points 6 days ago

Spice rack!

I had about 20 of these and put spices in them. Then I added neodymium magnets on the lids and placed them in my fridge.

[–] JimVanDeventer@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

I make hot sauce and often fill however many of these I have accumulated and give them away. Funny story: a friend really, really liked it so for the last batch they got a 2L bottle.

Totally came here to say to put a charm in it.

[–] Fermion@feddit.nl 31 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] steal_your_face@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I do the same but with ice trays

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And many ice trays are stackable.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Open egg cartons are stackable!

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

WHAT?!?

Over a half century on this planet and TIL.

[–] vorpuni@jlai.lu 4 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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.

[–] magic_smoke@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Dabs. You should put dabs in them. <3

[–] DearMoogle@lemmy.today 10 points 1 week ago

Haha I don’t partake nowadays but I could definitely see these little jars being perfect for that! <3

[–] Plaidboy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If you keep dabs in a clear glass container, make sure you store it somewhere dark (preferably in your fridge). I believe UV exposure accelerates cannabinoid decomposition.

Women are so much smarter. Y'all mind if I lurk around here and learn shit?

[–] DearMoogle@lemmy.today 12 points 1 week ago

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

[–] UnderFreyja@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 week ago

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 😅

[–] infinitesunrise@slrpnk.net 9 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You see cute little jar. I see hillbilly shot glass. We are not the same.

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 6 points 1 week ago

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

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 8 points 1 week ago

I have so many little glass jars from the weed dispensary...

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 8 points 1 week ago
[–] dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 week ago

I don't want to talk about it 🙈

[–] edg@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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.

[–] Death__BySnuSnu@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I have that exact same jar. It's perfect for my ground saffron.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 4 points 1 week ago

Please, for the love of God! Please ground your spices right before use. I learned this with black pepper.

[–] eistari@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I take lunches to work and use such containers for salad dressings.

[–] 200ok@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

If you have/wear silver jewelry, store it in airtight jars/containers so it doesn't tarnish when you're not wearing it.

[–] frightful_hobgoblin@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago

Buy more drugs

[–] xor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 week ago

i hoard glass containers but not plastic…

[–] ZDL@ttrpg.network 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I have an embarrassing number of ziploc baggies. 😬

[–] And009@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 1 week ago

Me too wink wink

[–] Vibi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 week ago

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!

[–] doomsdayrs@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago

I have been collecting glass jars and have been putting them to use!

Whenever I get something in a plastic container, I transfer them over to my glass jars if it makes sense (For example, multivitamins).

I'm planing to but some glass bottles for "on the go" moisturizer, spray, co-wash, etc.

[–] Pipster@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 week ago

My krypronite... I got a cheese advent calendar with a bunch of teeny tiny jars of pickle... I have yet to find a use for them but i'm certain they will be useful.

At christmas a supermarket here had fancy pate in little tiny kilner jars, after christmas they all got reduced to like, pennies, so i bought a ton of them. Currently using them to make little chia seed desserts.

[–] Abnorc@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If you use fountain pens, you can clean them up in a little jar.

[–] And009@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 1 week ago

This thread might be worth saving

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

They're good for spices! Penzeys sends spices in packets (or cute jars) so all go into little jars to store easier!

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Mine are filled with cat nails and fur and whiskers

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You win, I thought I was weird using mine for small oil infusions. I hesitate to ask, but how and why the nails?

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago

Phylactery Jar! It keeps our cats alive forever. We randomly find their nails all around the house.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Lidded corks. Like from whiskey or sherry. Perfect for popping onto an open wine bottle. Or for the booze that came with a screw top. Just have to keep enough different sizes to always find a fit. So every serving comes with that satisfying "Mpop!" sound. I can't throw them away. I suppose if I kept enough little jars I could have a cork inside each one.

[–] Oka@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 week ago

I horde little cardboard boxes

[–] Zomg@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Looks like a nice little condiment cup to me

[–] Doctor_Satan@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago

I also hoard these things, but I put them to use for homemade chili oil, jams and jellies, and all kinds of other stuff. But there is a constant rotating supply of empty ones on my counter, because I hoard more of them than I can use. Sometimes I'll make a bunch of hot sauce or something and give them out to friends just to get rid of the bottles.
