A coworker asked if I wanted some jars she wanted to get rid of. 15 cases later I am set for at least 2 years. Great score, but where the hell am I gonna put all these.
I know the feeling. A couple of years back I went to an auction and bought a box of Mason jars. An older guy came up to me afterwards and asked whether I liked them. I said I did. He said, well, we have a whole basement full, because when you're 83 you don't do much canning, and none of his daughters do it, and I was welcome to come and take as many as I wanted.
I made it over there a couple of weeks later and they were thrilled that someone wanted them. They were running all over the barn to find more cartons to put them in. I ended up having ten *full* cartons to take home.
