I feel old! :'D
I have avoided a "jar" by keeping a bin of scrap clothes and a handful of buttons in my sewing drawer, but for this BB I made a button jar!  (And promptly found 3 more buttons to put in after I took the pic.)

This is a pair of pants that survived two boys, but is too small for the smallest. It will be used tonmake patches for their bigger clothes since it cannot be patched/passed on any more. It had 2 cargo pockets that each had two buttons.

I had an old cotton flannel that i outgrew, so I harvested the buttons and fabric from it.

I had a worn out polo shirt and decided it was time to start a button jar.

Here is an old pair of shorts my wife is tired of me wearing. While I think there is still life in them, she said no and keeping her happy is my main goal. So I took the button off and consolidated the loose buttons in my drawer into an empty fish food container and put that in my sew box. The buttons on my pockets have long since been gone and the back pockets were snaps that broke my phone screen so I cut those off about a year ago.
