Or little plastic bottles

Or little ziploc baggies

Suuureee I might not know right then what I’m gonna put in it. But I’ll be sure to find something! xD

    Little jars are great to hold screws when you need to take something apart to work on it.

    • I swapped to egg cartons. Many attached “compartments” in sequence make them convenient. As a bonus, it used to piss off my parents, who were incapable of organizing their projects, because egg cartons look silly.

                Most packaging is stackable open or closed or both because it has to be efficient at one point. There are still dozens of sizes and standards for cylindrical steel cans though, very annoying when you have a lot of different ones and some are imported, so they’re almost exactly the same size as some of your local ones but won’t stack because the lips are the wrong size.

      My issue is that I can’t use jars for a purpose like that unless I have enough matching little jars.

      If I have a pile of screws with 20 different types of screws, I will need 20 identical jars before I use them to hold that pile of screws.

      Now I’ll have a loose pile of screws and a pile of 30+ mismatching jars awaiting a final purpose.
