Suggested to our DIL that empty peanut butter plastic jugs wont
shatter when they fall on the garage floor and show type and level of
contents for nails/screws. Mayonnaise jugs are now rectangular saving
space.

Do you know what it's like when you've accumulated 25 brown paper
bags of nails, and want to find the bag that contains the 10d commons? Lets waste the next 10 minutes going thru each bag.

Didn't your grandfather have all those mason jar caps nailed to the
ceiling of the garage/basement or on the underside of a nearby shelving
unit?

You may realize now that he wasn't a silly old man after all. There
was a good reason he had them there... to screw in a mason jar full of
like fasteners.
You see why I drink so much!
