FREE CANNING JARS?

Have you ever noticed that Classico brand tomato sauce comes in Atlas or Ball style screw top jars?

For years we have canned in reused Classico jars.
They work just fine and we have never had a problem with breakage.
Think about it - they have already gone through the canning process once in the factory.

Just like other jars we check them for cracks or chips before reusing.

We don’t buy much prepared sauce from the store but have managed to collect many dozens of Classico jars over the years - maybe about 20-25 dozen.

I would collect more but we are out of room to store any more canned food and empty jars!

Get them from any friends or relatives who use Classico sauces.
If they buy a different brand talk them into trying Classico.

If I saw someone in the neighborhood store buying more than one or two jars of Classico sauce I tried to strike up a conversation and see if they were willing to save their empty jars for us.

You might be surprised how often that works!
Many people are happy to help out and like the idea of something being reused instead of just thrown in the land fill.

Excellent tip, Vlad.

And you are saving the planet by recycling.

Did you hear Trump at the presser ask Jim Acosta how his book is doing knowing full well it was ranked around 1,200 on Amazon?

Trump did this in front of the entire World.

That’s savage!

Love our President!!
