I would have bought it

and the cute little basket next to it. I have been looking for one of those baskets.

With the price of coffee these days - they are probably thinking the left over fumes are worth the 50 cent.

My g-ma in law does stuff like that. She had empty maple syrup jugs, little ones... empty... old... for $1... and like an old canning jar for $2... per jar... it's just that she wants things that she's kept to actually have value to other people too.

I'd have bought it. I don't drink - won't drink - Folger's coffee and I want some of those red plastic containers with the sort of built in handle on the side. I have uses for them. I refuse to buy the coffee to get one. I wish I had saved the one I bought new (with coffee in it) a couple of years ago, before I discovered how awful Folger's coffee tastes.

And the ceramic mug next to it was probably 25cents...

We have dozens and dozens of Maxwell House coffee cans around they are good for so many things trouble is I am not good about labeling things so when I go to find something I have to look through dozens and dozens of coffee cans.

I've been using those empty coffee cans to ship eggs in.... i wrap the eggs in bubble wrap and then put them in the can..then put the can in a box surrounded by crumpled up newspapers and more bubble wrap...
So far its helped the eggs not getting crushed...
