Cheaper to throw the contents away

[d000hg]

We made some jam recently.

I looked into buying some jars but even from a wholesaler it is significantly cheaper to buy 200ml jars of Tesco Value apple sauce (or mustard or whatever) and throw the contents away.

I was thinking next time, it would be fun to get some of those individual serving jars you see in hotels, as a nice way to give gifts. Again from the online wholesaler, their new empty jars cost ~45p + P&P. A pack of 60 on Amazon works out as low as 30p each (hardly a bulk order) including p&p

I am by no means an environmentalist but buying something to throw away is just daft, and upsets me. Similarly when it's cheaper to buy a CD on Amazon than it is to buy the MP3 version - the world's gone mad.

Rifle through your neighbors recycling bins, they will be free then

You sure know how to throw a party.

Swing top bottles are the same - if you do homemade fizz etc. The 750ml bottles are about £7 each empty. M&S do their traditional lemonade in them, and frequently have the bottles at 2 for £4.

One of the less well publicised "benefits" of IPSE membership is access to the threads where tarbera shares all the sordid details of his partying for your vicarious amusement/horror/titillation/disgust.

And worse than that they're probably true

Referral IPSEMGM0004 if you've been persuaded!

If only I'd known, I could have sold ZeitMater's lifetime collection of jamjars on ebay instead of taking them to recycling.

How many apple sauce parties did she have?!?
