So once you've eaten your eggs or given them a new home in the manner of a 1980s sitcom (*sings* we make it and we take it home, B-B-BREAD...) make sure you keep your egg trays to stay organised in your drawers.I have a ceramic egg tray for keeping out on view in the hallway and the cardboard ones sit in the drawers of bedside tables, desks, 'junk drawers' and just about anywhere else I can find a use for them. Once the cardboard trays get a bit grubby you can simply toss them to recycling knowing that you gave them a good go at a second purpose. You m'lady, gave that egg carton purpose, a reason to live - high five!
As for the ceramic egg trays, they're endlessly useful for make up and hair bits and bobs because they're easier to just give a quick wash when you do your dishes. I have one in the bathroom for dropping my jewellery and hair clips into before I get in the shower - I just go through it once a week and return things to their 'home'.You can pick them up in the weirdest of places (my local church are selling them - eh?) and in the places you think you're likely to find them, the staff behind the counter look at you like you're bonkers when you so much as suggest such a thing even exists. You can get a 12 egg-er here and a the 6 egg one here (these are the cheapest ones I could find - you're welcome) though, so all is not lost if you can't find them on your travels.
What do you think? Will you give them a go? Do you use them already?
TTFN,
P.S. S'up with your bad self?
P.P.S. Egg tray? Egg carton? Who knows? Who cares?

This is a great idea and I particularly love the idea of a ceramic egg tray as I think that 'looks' better! Fab tip, thanks xo
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted one of these, and even considered a fisher price verson before- thank you for sharing the links xxx
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the ceramic one (how very non-thrifty of me), however we do quite often use old egg boxes for craft so I don't feel too bad about wanting to buy one instead of using the cardboard ones. The cardboard ones are also good for storing vintage Christmas baubles, which you may be aware I have a *teeny* problem with...

I got my 12 egg one from car boot for 50p but do have 3 hens so use for eggs. Will now look out for some more for this alternative use. Sainsbury sell them for £3.99 I think.
