In your garage/shop for cleaning little parts in solvent? Using for a small bit of paint do you don't have to bring out the whole can?
Empty yogurt containers? Cottage cheese containers? Mayonnaise jars for puttin' up nuts/bolts/nails?
Don't ask me how many in mine.
I don't keep track, would just make me depressed and maybe I'd have to throw some away.

A schit pile.............. Good man Do you have one of them fancy can openers that cut around the seam and don't leave any sharp edges too? Those things are slick, no more having to pinch down the sharp remnants with a pair of rusty pliers.

Patrick Yeah, those are OK for some applications, but I wouldn't trust them with gasoline or carb cleaner for getting built up crap off small parts.

You probably just bring a jar of beans over to Nana's and swipe one of hers when you need one.

Metal coffee cans, or the one gallon bulk canned food steel cans.
Had some for years and years.
No tuna cans.

Dang bro,
no sense using a whole #9 can for just a few ounces of solvent!
Get to the Higgly Piggly and get you some tuna cans.
Downfall of society when they started putting tuna in foil pouches. What's the world coming to?
But, yeah, I have some coffee cans and the big ones from the crushed tomatoes and puree for making mama's sauce.

I've got a good collection of cans and bottles and plastic containers; both empty and full. Free and handy!

It makes feeding the animals much more nostalgic! Heck, I've got two kinds of coffee cans out there. Metal ones from someone who gets the Costco stuff, and a few of the plastic ones from Folgers another friend gets. Wife and I are coffee snobs, so our coffee comes in little bags. A bit of bailing wire for a handle, two holes punched at the top of a metal 3lb coffee can, and it makes a decent cookpot one doesn't need to worry about putting right on the coals.

Tuna, potted meat and Vienna mystery meat sausage cans.
Cleaning guns and mixing epoxy.
Throw away the ones I mix epoxy in.
Use a can opener that takes off the sharp edges.

I call BS. How many outbuildings you have? And zero cottage cheese containers? No way.

Those things are slick, no more having to pinch down the sharp remnants with a pair of rusty pliers. None of that fancy stuff. Usually just save the plastic containers with the lids. Multi purpose.

i use cut off beer cans. not into tuna. my preferred nut/bolt/screw containers are the dry parmesan cheese containers. plastic, see-through and a pour lid to get a couple out. those and plastic peanut jars. i'm an organized mo-fo bordering on OCD.
