Hey, if you must smoke, then get something positive out of the process. Here are ways to reused Cigarette boxes.

  1. First Aid Kit: stock it with several type band bandaids, Acetaminophen in a tiny bit of Saran Wrap, four small packets of germ killing lotions, a packed moist towelette, a thick rubber band, a few cotton balls wrapped and a clean wrapped razor blade. You can store these in your fishing tackle box, glove compartment or in your travel suitcase.
  2. Help you stop smoking: Fill your flip top box up with gum, wrapped candy or lozenges.
  3. A place to put your passes or ride tickets at an amusement park
  4. A place to keep you toll fares handy
  5. A Small "In Stream" Fishing Box: Equip with hooks on cards as well as fly lures, split shot sinkers, nail clippers. All easy to get at without leaving the stream.
  6. A Travel Sewing Kit: Buttons, needles, thread, small nail clipper. All easily packed away for an emergency use.
  7. Make Do Emergency Office: Stamps in booklet, several sizes of paper clips, rubber bands, small golfing pencil, sharpener on outside the pack, new calender, several business cards, a card with important phone numbers, small note tablet with pen wrapped with a rubber band.
  8. A business card carrier and keeper
  9. An incense and or pourporri container: Imagine setting that cigarette box in a smelly area?
  10. A place to store many of your board game pieces so they don't fly around or fall out of your old torn board game boxes: Imagine knowing immediately where your Monopoly tokens, dice and chance/communtity chest cards can be found.

This is but 10 ways, off the top of my head, how to reuse those flip top cigarette boxes. There are more ways, just come out from that cloud of smoke and think .

Smoking makes me poor.

Reusing makes me happy.

Good Day From Mr. Thrifty

GREAT IDEAS! Thank You Mr. Thirfty ;)


Post By Lynda (Guest Post) (08/26/2006)
Mr. Thrifty, you've GOT IT. Although I've never smoked, I find LOTS of used cigarette CASES in garage sales for 25-50 cents, and boxes tossed on curbs. I can now transfer
from cellophane to protective coverings..for CHEAP or FREE. Change is a problem to store for me. Wallets never have enough room, and the coin carriers are usually limited. With as little makeup as I use anymore, those CASES would just about handle the two compacts and chapstick nicely. The
boxes might give my 8 yr old grandson some "ideas"
that Gammy might smoke or condone smoking, so
I'll stick to the cheap harder CASES your suggestion
brought to mind.

Any list for all those used sunglass cases we all have
accumulated, especially the ones with no snap or
closures? I have quite a few, have given many away,
but would be interested in recycling them properly.
I wear RX glasses now, so I have no need for several
cases of ANY sort for glasses as they were intended.
I've used them for pens/pencils, receipts, combs,
stamps, school photos, manicure tools, playing cards, temporary first aid when needing bandaids, tiny address books/calculators/business cards, and film storage. Any OTHER or BETTER uses for them?

God bless you for sharing these ideas with us!
