How many different ways can you repurpose or reuse the large plastic coffee cans like this Folgers can?

clean well and pack homemade cookies or other treats in to mail, to love ones.

 

Cover with your favorite contact paper and use to store coffe, flour, cornmeal, sugar or tea in.

 

Use it as a container to hold paint needed for triming around windows, door, crown molding and baseboards, when painting a room.

Funny, but since moving to MS (that's Mississippi, not Mommysavers - lol), hubby and I can't find decent locally roasted, single origin coffee (although we keep looking!) Our alternative, which IS pretty good is Folger's "Black Silk". Hubby buys it in the large red container. My decaf is the Folger's Simply Smooth which is lower acid and helps curb my heart burn problem.

 

So needless to say, I have tons of these large red and small green plastic containers. I admit I like the smaller green containers better. Maybe I'll save them up and donate them to DD's school.
