Do you reuse the plastic/glass containers that you get from purchasing items at the grocery. Such as Mayo Jars, Spaghetti Sauce Jars, Jelly Jars?

Or do you have so many already that they overwhelm you?

My niece is really into sand art right now, so I pawn all my empty jars off onto my sister.

NOPE I throw them all in the blue box for recycling. I don't just throw them away. I will occassionally keep a small plastic container, like a sour cream container for freezing stuff. I'm trying NOT to do that though because at one time they completely took over. LOL

Only plastic containers with recycle codes 4, 5 or 7 should be reused.

I only reuse a few and then they are for leftovers or for small craft items.

I keep glass jars...they are starting to take over so I will have to show some restraint.
