Jars!

I can’t keep up with the number of jars I need. I never realised just how many jars you use if a large batch of chutney is cooked, or a large batch of jam. It’s als much harder to get hold of recycled jars that I realised.

Gumtree: Posted an add…nothing happened. I did find some cheap jam jars to buy…

Free-cycle: only allowed to post a wanted add once a month. I guess one rule for everyone is fair, but couldn’t we make an exception for items that very quickly end up in landfill?? I’m not asking for a Scooter here…yes someone really asked for a scooter..

I may try Adelaide free and Cheap next…..

The people next door: we like them:) they gave us a bag of jars, and promised us some eggs from their chooks….I gave them some piccalilli.

I’m thinking of setting up some kind of loyalty system when I get set up at a regular market…bring me a certain number of usable jars, and you get a huge discount, or a free jam…etc. Works for coffee shops.

Jars I don’t need…Coffee jars! I can’t put a new lid on them….if I can’t pop it in a Vacola kit, then I can’t use it…Mayo jars are bad as well,  if they had a plastic lid, because the thread is weird, and won’t take a new metal lid.I also don’t need plastic jars…nuff said on that one.

I will probably end up buying more jars, but I’d like to reuse as many as possible.
