Reuse Bulk Boxes

From About.com

I try to find ways to turn one thing I buy into many uses. When I buy bulk products, I save the boxes; they are very sturdy. I sometimes cut them down to about 7-10 inches. I store my household cleaners in them under the sink to keep things organized.

I also use one of the boxes to hold used paper towels. When I use a paper towel to simply dry my hands, or wipe the counter, it is still good, so I place it in the box under the sink. When something spills on the floor, I re-wet the paper towel to use to clean spills on the floor.
