Each week we buy honey. We also buy curry sauces, pasta sauce on occasions, jam and other condiments.
It’s easy to recycle glass jars, but it’s better to reuse them as this reduces energy and resources used in the recycling process.
Last year I made chutney for the first time and it was great to be able to use my own jars that I had washed and stored.
It can cost over £1 to buy 1 jam jar, which really adds to your cost if making home made.
If you have no intention of making jams or chutneys yourself, why not save some up and offer them on Freecycle or SnaffleUp? There are plenty of people who would love to take them off your hands - and you might get a free jar of something lovely in return!
You might choose to reuse glass jars for storage containers. If you’re crafty, you could paint them with glass paint and put night lights in them.
Or use them to store buttons and odd bits of thread.
Kids can store pens and pencils in them and they make a useful addition to the garage for storing nuts, bolts, picture hooks and screws.
Fill them with beads and seal them well for babies to shake and explore!
There are so many uses for a glass jar - what are your suggestions?
