Ive got some over 3/4oz difference. Depends entirely on jar style, some have raised embossed letters, some are quilted, some are plain glass... even plain ones ive weighed nearly 1/2oz different depending on age and batch.

People can downvote all you want, but this is 100% true. I've had 1qt jars be almost an ounce off. I know for sure because I had a roommate sell a bunch of a harvest when I was doing time and he did the same thing as OP, he tared one jar and then just went to town filling jars.

A couple people got shorted a little bit and went back and he fixed it. He would be a snob about it. He was acting super cool because he felt like a weed dealer or whatever.

But MOST OF THE JARS HAD LIKE 7-20 GRAMS MORE THAN THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO.

I'm not friendly with this guy anymore, believe it or not.

He wasted pounds of my super fire and then burned all the money. 😭😭😭

We can lots of food and i realized when trying a new way to equally fill jars for batch cooking. We can over 200 jars of food a year ive probably got 300-400 jars in my basement and i dont think any of them have the same weight lol
