    I wonder if they are big enough to store crackers in.

    Spare change? I am sure you will find a lot of things to do with them. The board will give you lots of ideas. BrendaK

    I think you may be able to put some crackers in it. I think they would make a good container to hold crochet hooks or even a little "to go" notion holder for like some hand work put your thread and scissors and what nots in it that you would use and stuff it in your purse. They also would make a nice little first aid kit you just can't put too much in it, but you could put bandaids, tweezers, Sewing needle and thread, buttons. I will have to buy a container of those just for that lol.

    Leftovers will store easier in the frig and not take up so much room...can store them on the door. (If these are plastic)

    Freeze them with water or juice to have "big blocks" that won't melt so fast when you put them in a pitcher.

    Cover them with pretty fabric (elastic at top) and put potpourri in them.

    Store tea bags...those flimsy boxes will be gone then

    They might be - the bottom is 2 1/2 x 1 3/4 - would depend on the cracker - but don't think you would get a lot of them in

    Those are some good ideas - you can write on them with markers as well
    Love the Ice Cube Idea

    We drink the same brew. I have 4 of them that I just can't throw away. For the life of me I don't know what to do with them either. I know that as soon as I toss them, someone will come up with something that I will give myself a head slap for, saying "why didn't I think of that?". ;) I suppose I could make ice "logs".
