I do not throw away any glass or plastic jars that can be reused. I save the small ones for spices I buy in bulk at the store for a fraction of what they cost in bottles on the shelf. I also use them to store taco mix, gravy mix, beans, etc. Anything bought in bulk is usually fresher and less expensive.
Me too! I love doing this! I also use a vacuum sealer with a jar attachment to store things such as crackers, flour, etc in canning jars. It vacuum seals them closed, no bugs, and they don't go stale! I buy in bulk, and seal everything up. It keeps me from running to the store. Less trips to the store means less money I spend!

I reuse mine all the time, spaghetti jars are my favorite! Salsa jars work great when reheating soup (Glass is much better in the microwave, plastic chemicals leak into the food) I also use them to save space in the fridge, when there is only a little milk/or juice left in the carton, I use a jar.
