Repurposed Ice Cream Container

I finished the last of the ice cream that my bestie had brought over for my birthday, and just as I was ready to toss the container into the recycle bin, I realized that it is perfect to mix grout in and toss away when finished.

Usually I buy a bucket from the 99 cents store, because cleaning up the grout container is a pain in the butt.  You can't wash it down the drain, and since I live in a condo in the city, cleaning outside is not much easier.

Now, next time I grout, I have a container that I won't feel bad about throwing away!  And, even better, I have a nice deep container to break up my glass mosaic pieces into!

What other "throw-away" items have you repurposed?
