    I use mine to send my son spiced tea when he was in Iraq , also for storing sewing projects , canning rings , probably the best is salt for winter ! I keep one container in front & back door ! I know there’s hundreds of other uses , I also label each one ! These plastic containers are pretty solid , I like the handle provided for you !

    Started having problems with roaches I have used the folders containers for most of my dry goods and me kitchen cooking needs. I also use them to organize my paints I am usually working on at least two to three paintings at once and I find the story the small acrylic paint bottles into these containers and then marking them with a number that coincides with the painting helps me to keep the right colors in one place. I also creat a paint swatch to put on top to help me get back on track!

    Great to till with water or sand to provide weight, I use in place of traffic cones for obstacle for horse training. When finished using the and putting in a large net bag just pour out the water. Can also use to elevate a pole to have horse to pay attention to its feet and pick them up when coming to an elevated pole that does not need to be jumped, but does need higher movement. I collected the empty containers from work because I needed a couple dozen to use for the arena, to mark the outline of a circle to practise making 30 M circles

    Here’s one that I used years ago when my first grandchild was born you take an empty large coffee canister, and a roll of paper towel the the towels are just about 3 inches too tall but if you take an electric knife and cut it and put the cut down, you can alcohol wipes you can make Clorox wipes when my grandchild is born. If you take the medium size one you could make two canisters of diaper wipes, you can use the paper towels or you can use the more expensive ones. I like bounty paper towel or even sparkle but if you add baby wash and warm water and a cap of alcohol that will keep your babies bottom fresh just cut an X in the lid for the center core out and Walla perfect wipes for everything I did this during the pandemic and I added essential oils or there was a cleaning one. It was called thieves you just add your water to it and an ounce of thieves and you’ve got wipes for a month or more, I also use Melaleuca. They got several different types of cleaning supplies that you could use with the paper towels happy cleaning.

    It would also help to not buy coffee in plastic containers.
    Buy beans and buy a coffee bean grinder if you don't have one. Even a cheaper brand can last several years with general maintenance.
    With your desired grinded coffee, store in glass mason jars, ones that have a good seal is best. This way you wont have to keep buying those plastic containers

    I can't believe that in this whole presentation no mention was made about the biggest selling point of re-using these coffee containers: the large grooves that allow you to pick it up with one hand. You can place it up high on top of the refridgerator, and retrieve it with one hand (for cookies and protein bars). Organize small tools and material in the shed/garage. Or even sprinkling salt on an icy sidewalk wearing gloves. Or picking crabapples on a ladder!... Very "handy"

    I've been making stuff and using the empty coffee containers for God only knows how long and probably every since the Folgers company started making their containers thataway. This is nothing new and I also made different items and containers and flower pots and everything out of em so this is nothing unusual or new for me and your waaaaay behind cause I've made hundreds off what people viewed as trash...Case closed..😂😂😂😂

      The same containers can be found in Maxwell House coffee.

      THIS IS A SIMPLE RESPONSE...THIS IS ONLY FOR THOSE THAT "HAVE" FOLGERS CONTAINERS...I DON'T THINK "TRANSLATING TO ENGLISH" HELPED YOU OUT...

    first of all they are not air tight, so don't store moisture sensitive food in them. These break down in sunlight so you can't put them in direct sun... another fluf piece by someone who lives in their van and is trying to pay their bills.
