I get these when I buy ground turkey. For more things than I can count, they are wonderful.
I have used them for potting plants. I put water in them, freeze it, and keep desserts and veggies cold. They are great for keeping index cards in for recipes and tickler files. CD cases fit in the narrow way, so you can use them for your desk or entertainment center.

They are perfect for cleaning anything from tools in oil, to silverware in Tarnex, to jewelry in cleaner, and more.
Gotta drain something? It fits under just about any sink and car undercarriage. Fit patterns and crafts inside. Keep vitamins and medications up and away from kids, but still organized. It's the best chicken/fish flour coater there is, cos' it is not round. They can be used to corral little toys, pet supplies, office supplies, and keeps toiletries together in a suitcase.
The best thing about them is they are free, and recyclable!
Now, can you think of more things to use them for?

Just be really careful when re-using these containers. Poultry is really contaminated and most experts recommend that you not re-use these containers, because even with washing them, they may not be as clean as you think.

I believe in recycling and re-using, but my family's health is not worth saving a few pennies by using these containers.
I wash and save the white plastic trays I get my meat in from the super market and use them all around the kitchen, bathroom and even on my computer table.
