I wanna big sweet jar

brassmonkey001

Or similar wide necked bottle/jar. Must have a capacity of 4 litres or more. Any idea where I could get one and what sort of price they fetch?

Any suggestions anybody?

You could try asking for an old pickled egg/onion bottle from a local chip shop

That's not a bad idea. Cheers.

I got a big nigella one filled with boiled sweets last year at TK Maxx. Think it was about £6.00

How big was it? Was it made of glass or plastic?
Full of sweets, eh? Hmmm....

It was glass and I would say about 3 litres in capacity.

I used to work in a confectionery/ tobacconist shop.

They had those glass jars that had the loose sweets.

When the jars were empty, they were sent back to the wholesaler who gave a credit of ??p per jar. I can't remember how much.

I know that most are plastic nowadays bit it may be worth asking in your local shop if they still have any and offer to pay whatever it is they get for the jar.

It's a long shot but worth a try.
