When we were moving I found a bunch of jeans that nobody in the house could fit into so I cut the leg panels and started a denim stash. I also found a pair of Tripp pants I bought from Hot Topic and salvaged the nice, shiny zippers on it. And on one occasion I looked at my Kittie band shirt and thought if I had a whole bunch of them I could make an awesome quilt...but I wasn't about to cut up the one I already had and put it in the stash. lol.
