The cardboard cylinders that oatmeal comes in - they are perfect for keeping my pantry organized.
Sweet!
I'm sure lots of people save these things as this thread can attest to, just the various things that come to mind:
-Vegetable/fruit leftovers/egg shells for composting
-All manner of cardboard to use to start fires in our wood burning stove
-Plastic bags from the inside of cereal boxes....great for storing sandwichs or bread items.
-Definitely tissue and wrapping papers and gift bags that we've been given.....try to avoid buying that crap at all costs.
-Plastic grocery bags are what I used for the various small garbage cans around our house as well as bagging used kitty litter and other detritus.
-Wood pallets to cut up and use for kindling.
-Lawn cuttings to use as mulch around plants and trees.
-Any glass jar that has a top that will fit regular size Ball jar caps and lids for canning(mayo jars when they were made of glass were perfect...now they are plastic:( )
-apple drops before they turn to mush are used for my horse
