Oh well, the other ideas are great and I have found so many helpful hints from this and other frugal dad articles.

I have told my neighbors that if they bring their empty egg cartons over I will refill them with eggs for 1.00. This keeps the carton out of the landfill and helps with the chicken feed cost. They don't throw their cartons away. Win win. We have a few chickens but, they a little more than we can eat.

They stack rather nicely with a simple piece of cardboard (something else recycled) between them. The regular size make good collecting trays when the kids go out to pick blackberries, raspberries, beans, etc. Individual cups from the trays, with a pipe-cleaner thorugh them, make tulips and daffodils for craft bouquets. The tops make great trays for mixing things; spackle, epoxy, paint, etc. Pre-mix soup starter (or anything else you want to have on hand) and freeze it with just a bit of water in a well-washed foam type carton; then just pop one or more into the crock pot with a lump of your favorite protein and a quart of water to have great pot-roast/chicken/etc. when you come home.

You can also use an egg carton to mix paint in for craft projects - especially the white ones as they'll display the true color of the paint. Better still - let the old paint dry and you can use again (double the recycle fun)! Paint!
