Money Saver Monday!!
Does anyone besides me have those totally cute Disney popcorn buckets on hand after their trip? Come on…I know you do!! Can you believe that my mom actually threw her’s away because she did not want to mess with it in her luggage…we will save that for another post. Anyway…there is life for your bucket after Disney popcorn…but what can it be?
I was determinded to find another use for my totally adorable buckets once we go home and here is what my research has found. By the way..yes I had to research this topic because I am not a very creative individual as far as crafty type things so the Disboards gave me a hand. Thanks Disboards!!!
- Use it as a sugar container-I love this idea! This way when you bake with the kiddos you don’t have to worry about them breaking the glass container. Plus, it will always remind you of Disney.
- Spare Disney Change-You can use it as your Disney savings account.
- Bath Toy-Let the kids have a blast in the tub with their buckets. We all know they love to fill and pour in the tub.
- Storage-You can use them for storage for tiny toys, crayons, markers, colored pencils, craft stickers.
- Party Food-One reader uses them to take food to potlucks such as salads and cold fruit. This reader says it fits well in coolers…what a great idea!
- Toilet Paper Holder- One reader says if you squeeze it enough you can actually fit two rolls of toilet paper into the buckets. She has a Disney bathroom and keeps it in there.
- Gardening bucket
- Vase- I saw a picture of the buckets used as a vase and it is so cute!
- Storage in luggage-Why not store breakables in them for your ride home?
- Cooking Utensils Storage- I love this idea of having it on your counter with your utensils in it. So cute!
- Movie Popcorn-We will be using it at the movies. Our theater give you bags for your popcorn and the grease from the butter always goes through the bag. Long gone are those days…we will just pour the popcorn right in there and then we can take home the leftovers…yummy!
I would love to hear how you reuse your popcorn buckets!!
See ya real soon!!’Kelly

I’m always looking for new ideas to use my buckets and these are great. I’ve been collecting them since I was about 8 which means I think I have about 30-35 buckets now. It’s so fun to see the designs change between resorts and each year/season. I may have to stop the collection soon if I can’t figure out what to do with them all.
Hi Ashley! Thank you so much for visiting our site. I am right there with you…so many buckets and not enough space..lol. Have a magical day!
