Whether it’s a rubber band or a plastic grocery store bag, we all tend to have certain items lying around our house at all times, and all of them usually only serve one purpose—either that, or it’s an item that’s considered trash once its main use is done.

However, there are plenty of ways you could be using the random things you probably have in your house at this very moment, and we promise that they’ll make your life so much easier.
