This tip on reusing mini M&M containers comes from my reader Dina….
When my son was on formula, I reused the mini M&Ms tube to hold his powdered formula on the go. The small ones holds 2 to 4 ounces (one to two scoops). The larger ones hold 6 to 8 ounces (three to four scoops). These work perfect for the diaper bag. My daughter (4yrs) was saving and washing every M&M tube she got.
*M&M tubes are also great for storing quarters and pennies for Pressing Pennies at Disney World!

Good tip for those with small kids.
I use my mini M&M containers while at Disney. I stack 2 quarters and 1 penny (repeat) in the tubes. Then when I come to a Souvenir Penny Machine (there are hundreds of them throughout Disney) I have the change handy to use. I then take my squished pennies and hot glue them onto the matting around my Disney photos.
**Note** The TSA almost always questions the tube in my carry on, so I always pack it in an outside pocket so I can take it out along with my bag of liquids.
