Whelp, I may be screwed. Don't have the money to replace everything

Do you ever buy things that come in glass jars, like pasta sauce or jam?

Do you have a thrift shop nearby?

I go through the stuff very slowly, so it will still take a long time to build up what I need

Slow and steady wins the race. :)

Then don't - get a small glass/Pyrex casserole dish with a glass lid and decant your leftovers into that every time you go to heat something up. I think IKEA sell some nice sized ones.

If you don't drop it they last for decades and that's what I've been doing. I do not reccomend looking for vintage stuff though - the reason why they stopped using the original original glass formula is because it chips easily and yeah, something that gets used on a very regular basis with its lid constantly going on and off is going to start chipping something awful over time
