I am the same way - my hubby gets mad when I have all these jars on the counter (cause I hold til I have a few to clean as well) and says "Really?!?! You still need more??". Of course I do - they may eventually stop making them right!?!? Besides, one day I will make something with them...

I always figure I'll fill them or use them in a kids craft. I have learned though, that our local food bank loves to receive empty containers, so that might be my calling for these containers :)Lucy's Soup Canhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15427371834450978671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863467156071949126.post-48665885011108260962012-02-17T09:56:17.119-06:002012-02-17T09:56:17.119-06:00at least you have a plan for your jars.

It's a collection! Who knows what pretty thing they may become someday. Plus they are useful, I buy large cans of diced tomatoes, make large batches of pizza sauce, cook dried beans...the jars make for great storage.

I love that stuff, and it's at Dollar Tree. Someone else asked about peanut butter jars. I always fill them with soapy water and close the lid then leave them for a few days. Shake, empty and then fill it again. After that they are very easy to clean. Love your blog!

I've got tons of empty TP rolls that I keep telling myself I'm going to use to make one of the million crafty projects I've seen on Pinterest with them, but for now they're just filling a box in the corner of the laundry room.<br />I also keep any glass jars and a lot of plastic ones as well. I love Simply Orange bottles and have a few of those saved, but they take up more room, so unless I can think of something to do with them I try not to save many more.Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08846309890045080998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863467156071949126.post-6612692997696634662012-02-11T11:01:16.697-06:002012-02-11T11:01:16.697-06:00I am most interested in how you clean empty PB jar...I am most interested in how you clean empty PB jars, I NEVER can get them clean enough inside to reuse.
