Okay…so I have this thing about re-purposing anything I am able. My daughter loves Pringles and every time I see an empty container all I can think of is…what can I do with that??? Well…tonight I found my answer! I was cooking spaghetti for my Pesto. The bag the spaghetti came in (as all the other noodles that come in cellophane bags) ripped. I saw the Pringles container sitting on the counter I had washed the other day as I was determined to put it to use again. Well, let me tell you! Spaghetti fits in that container to a tee! Even without taking out the handful I did (to cook), I know it would have held the entire 2lb bag.Another item I re-purpose are the containers bakery cakes/cookies come in….you know…the ones that usually have a clear top and a black bottom. These stack real nicely inverted upside down. I use them to store sewing projects, craft projects, all my smaller painting tools, my daughter has one full of crayons…there is just no end to what can go in these.
