these might be the most obvious multifunctional items, but i couldn't leave them out. glass jars are workhorses in the zero-waste kitchen.  i am constantly amazed at the many jobs glass jars can accommodate.  i love having them in all different sizes.  

we use them for:
~drinking glasses- big, medium, and small
~butter dish
~canning jars- i mostly freeze tomato sauce or cooked beans in them
~leftover storage- soups, grated cheese
~lunch transport- soup, pasta, salad
~snack transport- granola bars, fruit, hummus + carrots or apples, etc., trail mix, cookies, etc.
~drink transport- add a lid and go, or use for take-away at the coffee shop
~flower vases
~homemade pickles or applesauce
~gifting bulk candy or treats, homemade spiced nuts, dipped apricots, pickles, etc.
~starting new plants from cuttings
​~clay and face powder in the bathroom
~storing herbs, asparagus 
~growing basil
​~bulk spice storage
~holding open a heavy window

larger jars are useful for:
~bulk items
~yogurt
~larger amounts of leftovers
~cookie dough
~cold water in the fridge- we keep two of the returnable glass milk containers and use them for keeping water cold- no wasted water while waiting for it to turn cold at the faucet
~displaying seashells and other natural items
~terrariums
