Garage sales and thrift stores used to be great places to get jars. Neighbors used to beg me take them off their hands. Now days, with the economy, it seems people are hanging on to them.
I bought a couple of herb/gardening books at the big annual community sale yesterday but didn’t see any jars or garden tools. There was only one small pressure cooker when usually there are several. There were fewer gardening and cookbooks and not a single one on preserving. I was looking for prepper stuff but no luck this year or last year. Very telling.
Yes. It is kinda telling. Myself, I never met a glass jar that I wouldn’t keep. For one thing, every water glass I ever bought always gets broken.
For some reason, the jars almost always never break. I have sooo many mayonaise jars. One day they’ll be antiques. The mayo jars these days are plastic-ugh.
