Depending on where you live, this may be the start of your plastic-free/no-waste journey. (You'd obviously need a place where you can shop plastic-free somewhere near you )
I've slowly been adapting to this! I love having all my jars, it's like living in a lab with specimens
Nice collecion you have there! Just got my hand on a large cardbox worth of jars. Almost all of them have caps as well. My plan is to slowly clean and fill them up, just like you did! Also I recently found out (by a foodwaste prevention program) that I have plastic-free shop not too far away from me.
Even if you donβt have a place like that, itβs still worth it to put the stuff in jars to prevent maggots from ruining everything.
One possibility is that, any of these jars that were vacuum sealed in the first place, they can easily be re-vacuum sealed with a cheap vacuum chamber/hand pump combo. it's not an appropriate preservation method for all the kinds of things that originally came in the jars, but will keep dry goods from oxidizing/etc.
