I have a hard time throwing away shoe boxes, and worse yet is I always can find a project to fill them.

Now those I do keep..., I made a few of those cylinders from fabric that you hang on a doorknob...opening on top to stuff into and small opening on bottom to pull out.......I use the bags to line trash containers ( cute, decorative type) in bathrooms, bedrooms,sewing room......then just take whole bag put for trash pick up days....and replace. Also, have cats (2) and 4 litter boxes....need I say more........

Yes, I keep boxes.....I ship items, and finding an appropriate box can be challenging. I tend to keep them in their original state unless they are large, so I can easily find what I need. I did end up buying some small boxes because I have a lot of small items to ship, but I hate to buy boxes if I can get them for free!

Box hoarder here and no apology from me. I don't live in an area where I can walk a few blocks or even drive a few blocks and find a store to pick up boxes from. My family is strewed from CO to VA and MS, so I need boxes many times in a years time.
