I do have a couple in my basement, filled pickled beets, I think.

My boyfriend complains frequently about the jars in my apartment. I even keep some spaghetti sauce jars (The local Amish store stocks commercial type lids for them-exactly like a ragu lid, but white) right, so I mean I keep all spaghetti sauce jars. I also use them for drinking and storage. My family thinks I am a little nuts, but I think everything should be multi purpose. Plus, things tend not to go bad as requently in the fridge because I can see what's in the container with out having to open it up. The glass jar, so humble and useful. What's not to love! :) I totally understand this, and am glad to know I am not the only one. My boyfriend complains frequently about the jars in my apartment.

I was lucky enough to get some of those 20 oz no shoulder jars )when a friend of my mother-in-law decided her canning days was over and send me her stash): I use them for freezing broth or ice-cream and making yogurt. Really like them too! Don’t forget under the sofa, it’s a good place for the pint and 1/2 pint jars!
