I usually purchase cat food in a huge bag but during a recent trip to a certain box store, they must have been closing out of their one pound boxes and as it was the brand that I was seeking as well as 75% off, I bought 18 boxes, each weighing 1.2 pounds. The food has been relocated to a bin but I'm wondering what I should do with all of the packaging. Here are five things I've come up with. Most of these tips could also be applied to
cereal boxes.
- Give 'em to the kids. I barely had these boxes emptied before my daughter was using them to hide her keepsakes in. They can also be stacked quite nicely
- Compost. I am certain that I will be shredding a few of these for my sexy, new compost pile.
- Storage. Because anything stored in these boxes will come out smelling like cat food, select your items wisely.
- Cobble. [Yes, its a word, I checked.] Here's some instructions on how to make shoes out of boxes.
- Build. Cover boxes with leftover wallpaper, contact paper or paint. Next, cut holes in the sides to resemble high-rise buildings to create your own town.
