I am somewhat of a packrat (but a very neat one since I classify my collections! I want to know where everything is so I could grab them immediately in a moment of need) and I save old calendars among other things. I use them to decorate sturdy boxes that I also save and use for storage of anything (rmember I am an orderly packrat) or as wastebaskets. When I first came to the States, I was appalled at the way the people I came across waste so much of their resources -- food, non-perishable goods, office materials, etc. Again, I am glad to know not all Americans are such profligates.

Sometimes we can rediscover outings we enjoyed but forgot about. It's also a good way for me to guage previous illness and doctor's visits as I have a few chronic conditions and often use the calender to monitor symptoms. Sometimes you can spot a cycle this way.

Too bad I didn't read this before I tossed it. I can not believe I never thought of a single use for an old calendar. Too bad I didn’t read this before I tossed it.

These are great ideas! Thanks, Sara. Wish I had read this before tossing five years worth of calendars not too long ago! These are great ideas! Thanks, Sara.
