Hit 50 mason jars collected from thrift stores last weekend

I've been grabbing old jars every time I see them under $1 and I finally counted 50 of them lined up on my shelves. They're all different sizes and colors and it feels like a real cozy accomplishment for my pantry and herbs setup. Anyone else go for a specific number of something before calling it done?

Who else is one bad organizing binge away from becoming a certified hoarder with a really nice herb collection?

Friend of mine from work, Dave, he got into thrifting jars a few years back. Ended up with like 120 of them crammed in his garage and his wife finally put her foot down. Told him no more jars until he organizes what he's got or builds better shelves. So he spent a whole weekend building these custom racks and sorting jars by size and color, and now he's got this wall that looks like a tiny glass library. Saw a post from @james92 about being one binge away from a hoarder setup and that is basically Dave's story except with way nicer shelves now. He's got herbs, dried peppers, pasta, all his dry goods in matching sets and it honestly looks better than most store displays. He told me the 50 mark is where it starts getting real satisfying but also real easy to go overboard.
