Thread: Do you Reuse?

basic question but was thinking about this recently for whatever reason, i really don't remember. Anyways if you do what do you use reuse? If not, why don't you?

And by reuse, i don't mean things like shampoo or soap or toilet paper or your penis. I mean like things that would normally be thrown out or recycled after being used. Like empty shampoo bottles, Glass bottles, plastic bottles, bags, etc. etc.


For me i've been on and off. The main things i've reused so far:

Pizza Box. I use it as like a lap table for when i'm eating while on the futon, and when i have a bunch of shit piled up on the table.

Glass Bottles. I usually use these mainly as cups. When i get juice or milk or just want to put soda in a bottle with a lid.

KFC Box. This is a new one i got recently and it really has exactly one purpose as of now....to hold tacos, work great for that too.

Plastic cups. These are the more durable ones and mainly for when i'm making some tea.


Last item i reuse came from one of those steamer type pasta things. It had a lot of small holes and as soon as i saw it i knew I was keeping it. It is now my strainer for when i cook pasta of beef etc.

Right now, the only thing I reuse is a certain kind of ice cream container.

The local Harp's (Kroger's equivalent) sells this primo ice cream that's like $5 per pint and comes in these little hard-plastic cylinders with a screw-top lid. Eat the ice cream, chuck the container in the dishwasher, and it's ready to be used in a lunchbox... great for carrying sauces, or side dishes like veggies or fruit. Got about three of the suckers piled up now, and I just toss them in a bag with my main meal in a gladware thingie and I'm good to go.

I also re-use plastic bags from grocery stores a lot. I usually take an empty milk jug, wash it out real good, and cut off the top and stuff the bags in there.

We re-use most glass jars and some plastic containers to hold left-overs.

I re-use milk jugs for target practice. :9
