Penny Pinchers-Dont Discard

the boxes from Quill that they send the legal paper in, they are the perfect size for storing old files. A little tape and your good to go! And if your local Staples has the $3 coupons for returning empty ink cartridges, use it for the medium binder clips (Staples brand-24ct), your end cost (for me anyway) is $.94.

I repurpose these all the time

a quick spritz w/spray paint makes a nice shipping box at Christmas-time, or storage of things when the box may still be exposed in the room. And year end paperwork is excellent too!

Waste not, want not!

who can afford spray paint, LOL. Yes, that is an excellent idea for shipping or under the tree. Great idea!

Re: I re purpose these all the time

good one Lisa and j...I have one that we decorated and keep all the shorty's art and kg school work in. I go through it once in awhile and send off some of the nicer ones back home to the relatives.

Another great idea!! We should start a group for "The Notary Penny Pinchers". Sorry folks, we got off the discuss work mode. Oh well.

Re: I repurpose these all the time

I love to paint so always have leftovers - I do this w/liquor boxes, they are so sturdy, gets rid of printed matter, dresses up box for gifting. Roll it, brush it, spray it - whatever on hand.

Had one box that I painted and whether it was the box or the paint: it stank for about 3 days - had to put outside to de-vaporize before I could use it.
