henny penny Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Hi I am running out of our recycled jars for preserves- does anyone know of a reasonably cheap source? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Sainsbury & Tesco sell the most awful mint sauce in small jars for the princely sum of 9p each! A visit via the bathroom to dispose of the contents, direct into the toilet is the best method of disposal - do not feel guilty about the waste - it really is bad ! A cycle in the dishwasher gets them clean & the labels off. The colouring in the sauce does stain the lids, but it's all recycling! Other members have mentioned that larger jars of potentially dodgy contents are also quite cheap in S & T. Could also try Freecycle, ask at school/work for donations....... Hope this helps & happy preserving! Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Sainsbury and Tesco must be wondering why their mint sauce is selling so well this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Indeed, I see it as a public service.....it is saving those poor people from eating something that tastes akin to paint stripper & so far removed from mint that I'm not even sure that's what the green stuff is! Lesley, will pm you later! Am off to decorate a Christmas tree....'tis the season...etc etc etc!!! Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Webmuppet Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 The chaps and chapesses at work save any likely sized jars for me, I did buy a few from Lakeland as well. My Tesco's coffee jars are perfect for jam so I save all of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
