Reuse Plastic Food Containers for Storage

Any time if my mother would buy sherbet ice cream, she would usually keep the containers to clean out first and use the containers for anything. For Example:

• Put food in them so we wouldn't use any plates, saving money from the water bill, Ajax soap, and time in the kitchen.
• Containers to store seeds.
• Store liquid substances at room temperature, depending how long before you are going to put it in the freezer or whatever place is needed.
• To place soaps in while taking a bath, so it not disintegrate by heavy showering or dropping the soap while taking baths. Also good for traveling with soap.
• Keep it as a piggy bank.
• Keep hard to find tiny objects in the container. Even label it "You forgot something", just as a reminder so you won't panic.
• Plant a little flower in for your windows.
• Use to store anything homemade. It could be chopped fruits/vegetables, makeup, remedies, jams, pickles, etc.
• Decorate the containers as a gift for parties or whatever you want to do.

What's the point of buying small containers from a dollar store, when you can use food containers for anything.
