anyone want to share ways they've repurposed unused/end of original lifespan household items that would have otherwise been destined for the trash?
my top 3 that i use consistently-
a couple of old plastic rectangular laundry baskets that have some broken sections that would snag laundry. instead of going into the dumpster they are in the back of the car so when i go grocery shopping i can put the bags inside and if they tip over i'm not opening the hatch to cascading items (also great for food orders to go-no more tip and spills).
4 of dh's old dive weights (bean bag style)-in a niche in the back of the car so if i buy a sheet cake or large pizza i can surround it and prevent sliding.
2 old thrashed rolling office chairs. torn up seats but they work great in the garage where i use them to hold the freezer door open and stack items as i'm searching for what i need but their greatest use is when i return from grocery shopping and roll them out to the car. pile a bunch of bags on top to make for fewer trips back and forth to the car AND also can designate one for just the frozen foods to roll over to the freezer and put away.
