This is what I meant in the above post, about rolled-up card stock used as funnels, for splitting seeds into Zip-locs. I also use junk-mail on stiff, glossy card stock.

Cardboard boxes (actually "chipboard"), like cracker or cereal boxes, make nice trays to keep things from tipping over. You can cut them horizontally or lengthwise. I reinforce the open end with with 2" wide clear shipping tape before cutting them in half. They also keep my spice jars organized in the cupboard.
However, there is a fine line between throwing fewer things away due to re-purposing, and being an out-and-out hoarder. I try to stay away from hoardeing, but it is a temptation.
