OK so I know Im not alone when it comes to eating Junk Food.... ( well I hope not !! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: )


Me and My family ( yes Im including my family- thats my story and IM sticking to it!!!) Well we love Chips Ahoy, i was crushing it to toss away when I realized something...

Hehe my husband has been known to sit and drink half a gallon of milk and a whole package of Chips Ahoy.

OH MY GOSH. Glad that you realized it BEFORE THEY got tossed. LOL

And now you have a great reason to buy cookies !!


( as you can see 2 bags already eaten and one UN-opened bag here.. )


Think we eat alot of cookies ?? :roll:

WOW what a great tip. You should send that to Fons & Porter - if they like it and air it you'll get a one year subscription to their magazine!!!

I havent bought a bag of cookies in years, and I mean years, lets see about 4 or 5 years. I might "need" to buy some now! but my fave was oreo. Will they work?

whoo hoo... (IM already paid up till 2015 with F&P lol )

I sent it in thanks for letting me know about Fons & Porter

Good idea

Ok, I think this qualifies for.....You might be a Quilter if......LOL!!!!

Gotta go buy some cookies, quick!!! What a great idea!

I love your chicken pin cushion! I have one, too.

Truly a great idea!

See, another reason I need to buy these cookies...I need the package for my fabric! That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Quilters are so resourceful!! Great tip!

Thanks for the info. Always learning new things on here!

Thanks! I posted a tutorial for my selvage chickens.

If they smell like chocolate too, double bonus.What a great idea. Thanks for suggesting it. HUSG♥♥

I can not remember the last time I ate a cookie. My Doctor fusses all the time for me to leave off the high starch foods and sugars. I know now why I have a headache all the time, My Halo fits too tight!!!

Good thinking Batman! I love ways of re-using packaging!

Sadly we don't get those here in the U.K. BUT I will be choosing our biscuits now depending on whether the packaging is suitable or not! :lol: :roll: :D

Hm, I don't eat those, in fact I don,t think they are here, but you have given me an idea - perhaps After Eight mint boxes would do the same job.

Ohhh now thats a good idea Lesley! Well Christmas is coming, so we better start stocking up early hadn't we!!!

Cute idea!

Great idea~

ha ha!! love it :thumbup:

ha ha!! love it :thumbup:

Now you really are a "smart cookie"....lol :)


And it's a cool ides too!

And to think I bought containers to put mine in when I could have had cookies too.

Good idea!

Awesome repurposing... thanks for the "justification" <giggle>

:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: ANYTIME !!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

They also hold GFG pieces very well.

Awesome! An 'excuse' to buy cookies!

We go through enough cookies too, and I never thought of that. Could be because DH is usually the one to empty the cookie package when he shoves plenty in a baggie for his work lunch, then throws the package on the counter instead of in the garbage. So I see the package, get miffed because he once again didn't open the cabinet door BELOW the counter and throw it away himself. Next time I see that I will have visions of your Chips Ahoy fabric squares. There yah go. You can make a quilt and call it Chips Ahoy!
Gonna take your idea and use it soon! And thanks for the visual, too early for cookie eating but will for sure be scrounging cabinets to look for some later. hee hee

What a great idea! I throw those away all the time, as DH LOVES cookies. I will have to start saving them now. (More junk to save, LOL)

Great tip! Now I'm going to go out and buy some :) Thanks

Oh man, now I got to go buy cookies.

Great idea...time to go buy cookies!

Chips ahoy do not last long here either. Thank you for the tray tip. I have always wondered what I could do with these. Now I can pass this on to my quilting friends.

Excellent idea.

I have done the very same thing with the empty plastic container, it's perfect for storing 2 & 1/2 inches hexagon squares, that tray is full, so now I need another plastic tray...where's the cookies!!!
