Gifts in Old spaghetti Jars.

I never used to buy premade jars of spaghetti sauce til recently. One day it hit me, 1.59 for 10 jars at Target and I get a $5 dollar gift card? Thats almost a little over $10 for ten jars and I get to have spaghetti sauce? I could surely clean those and use them to fill with homemade dishwasher detergent, homemade laundry detergent, homemade fabric softener crystals and even my bar into bodywash soap which self sealed while cooling down. That is way cheaper than paying for new jars to give away or see if they will return them... These are great for beginners.

So if you want here are some jar gift ideas:

Homemade Laundry detergent
Homemade fabric softener crystals
Homemade dishwasher detergent
Bar into bodywash

Layer and compact all the dry ingredients for:

Cookies
Muffins
Bean soup
Pancake mix with dried fruit r chocolate chips
Homemade hamburger helper
Homemade Dry rub recipe

There are many Utube videos that can show you how or even give you a recipe.  I am not saying go out and buy a premade Betty Crocker recipe and throw it in a jar, but share what you really like to make with others. Most times people will think it is creative and you'll be finding people more interested in it than you thought. Also this gives them a little break from paying out of pocket for laundry detergent or fabric softener. Make sure you vaccuum seal dry food, this I found out on Utube can br done with a tac, electrical tape and a vacuum sealer. Not many people have the knowledge this blog shares and I strongly suggest you share it for when people you know are having a hard time. Also if you have premade laundry detergent or fabric softener crystals you made how easy is it to clean a jar, fill it, cut out a fabric square and rubber band it on top and put a little tag with how to use or what to add? Simple... And we all know you hate throwing out used spaghetti jars.
