Do you collect/reuse Folgers Coffee Tubs?

Folgers is too small. These started out holding peanut butter filled pretzels. Now they hold brass.

Absolutely love it! Thought I was the only one. I keep Trader Joe's House blend containers.

Too small. Just have too much brass for them tiny things.

Same here. I use those cheapo plastic bins from WalMart.

I do not use them anymore. I use the clear plastic shoe box containers I get at the 99cent type store. The stack better and I can see how much are in them. I store brass in different stages of prep, bullets and primers in them as well as my 204 cleaning patches,jags, etc. I have a 10 foot long 3 foot wide 5 shelve storage rack full of then with brass. Another cabnet 4"wideX3'deep and 7' tall with bullets and primers.
If I used the coffee jugs I would not be able to storge half as much in the given space. I also store unsorted brass in a 5 gal pail

I like to use large tubs from whey protein powders.

Jelly bean tubs from Costco. Good to snack on while reloading. Sometimes I like to put them in the case feeder on then dillon so I can see the tube full of beans.

But seriously, yeah, costco jelly belly tubs.

I still use Folgers cans that are metal. Plenty of the plastic ones as well - and yes, they are getting smaller.

Folgers

Imagine three times as many and with smaller labels, AND labels on TOP too so that I can see from the top what they are. That is my CLEANED and READY TO RELOAD brass for 9mm, 380, 38, 357, 44, 50, 10mm, 40, 45lp, 45sp .223 and .308 (the latter of which I have a 5 gal bucket for).

i go for the optimum nutrition gold standard whey protein container. use enough to have quite the surplus.

THat is how I came to use the folgers. WE had a lot of then sitting around and I was always trying to figure out what to use them for and since I have three large 18 gal bins for dirty sorted brass and a large bin for decapped/sorted brass, I figured that the folgers would work well and they do because I just keep sorting and cleaning brass enough to keep the cans filled and the rest stays put in the other larger bins... Yeah would be NICE if they were bigger but I only have a few casein/whey containers and I use them for other things like crushed eggshells and what not. I bet they would be good to hold 50 lbs of ss pins in though...

That's OCD right there.

Don't you mean CDO. That's the letters in alphabetical order the way they should be!

[American Samurai]

Folgers is swill.

I use those clear shoe size tubs as well that I get from Target or walmart. The dollar store ones are to flimsy. Its perfect I can see whats in them and how much is in them as well. They also stack very nice and neat.

My multivitamins come in cans and I burn up one a month, I use them now to store brass, projectiles and loaded ammo:

If its hollow and has a lid it will be used!
