Two weeks ago I bought a gallon of pickles, because I thought: Oh, that’ll last me a while and its only $7 and I can use the jar for something after.
It did not last me a while, but I can still use the jar IG.
The only remaining decision is what for? My thought is to store beans in it (so that the beans don’t have to be stored up high to be away from mice and so I can do a custom blend more easily, and then if I got a second gallon jar (of pickles or otherwise) I could use that as a dedicated bean soaking vessel, which would make it easier to remember to get beans soaking) or use it for making/storing lemonade (tight sealing lid makes the mixing easier, I can just shake it.) But I wasn’t just going to commit to something without asking for recommendations.
Before you ask, no, there’s no chance I’ll use it for making pickles, I would never want to make that many at a time (though I definitely will get a smaller pickle jar for making fridge pickled onions).

You could store a lot of cannabis flowers in it, depending on your local laws.
I can’t buy those here, and also why flowers?
Cause they are prettier to look at 🌻
Idk, but maybe I’ll get on later for flowers
Because that’s the part we smoke, the flower
… ok, I did not realize that, I thought it was the leaves…
Some leaves have miniscule amounts in them, but nah those green bud things are flowers, part of me kinda wishes they came in more colors
“dank buds” are the flowers. Storing them in a jar is often called the curing process.
You can grow a vinegar or kombucha mother in it.
I don’t think I’ve ever had kombucha, but that would probably be pretty good.
