Lisa, I re-use the lunchmeat containers, too! They're a perfect size to pack lunches in and to store leftovers, too!

I recently used a large applesauce jar (plastic) to pour rice into. Much neater than keeping those bags in the pantry, and they're see-through so I can see what's inside.

We re-use the large coffee containers (34 oz?) to put our food scraps and coffee grinds in. We can put the lids on so the kitchen doesn't get smelly. When we empty them into the compost pile, we rinse them out and use that water to water the outside pots.

Kathy
