I used to make dog biscuits with baby food. Instead of using that tho if you are near a discount store you should be able to source small glass jars very cheaply.

:) Have tried to hunt out new ones cheap enough to make a trial run of what I want to do with them but sadly on the high price side. Cheers Anne

anne1955, the apple baby food can be very handy for when just a little apple sauce is needed. Do you have freezer space? - I'm wondering about emptying the apple sauce into small freezer containers (ice cube trays or silicon mini muffin trays) and then you'd have the jars for use as you're planning.
Hope that helps. :-))

I have a heap as we were going to use them for a wedding but decided not to. They're yours if you want them but we won't be in Dunedin until next weekend. I probably have to set up an auction in order to abide by the rules so let me know if you're interested.

Why not just put a want ad on Freecycle for the empty jars?
Or buy small jars from one of the jar places.

This place is quite reasonable for glass jars etc and the more you buy the cheaper they are https://www.arthurholmes.co.nz/ based in Wellington. Every time I've dealt with them they have been very helpful and answer queries promptly. And as an aside, probably cheaper to buy the empty jars than the full ones from supermarket as you don't really want the contents anyway?

That would be wonderful I'll keep an eye on your auction or you can on mine and ask me a question on one thanks :)

Opp shops sometimes have clean baby food jars with lids.
