Yummy and useful.

It’s karma! M&Ms were invented for our enjoyment! Many snacks come in these square plastic containers. They keep food dry and fresh. So, when you indulge in these delectable snacks, do so with this in mind. When you’ve had your fill, don’t discard these lightweight cannisters. Give them a second life as optimum storage for dry goods, supplies, or miscellaneous items. They nest well on their side in narrow spaces.

Square gets more than round

In the deep cabinet above our range, we store eight of these containers. In the less frequented back row, we store the larger containers filled with brown sugar, Splenda and extra K-cups. The front row is typically accessed daily for goods like coffee and pet food. But don’t stop there, use your imagination. They’re great for laundry soap to zip ties. There are many items that can be stored inside.

They’re not just for dry goods.
