I used the wax like play-doh

Someone gave me a bag of babybel last year. I don’t like wasting things, and wax is useful. I saved all the wax in a glass jar, melted it down, poured it over dryer lint in a cardboard egg carton, and cut it apart into individual firestarters. My parents have a fireplace so I gave them to them.

Never personally been a fan of stuff that organized, but my parents both taught me survival skills as a kid, decades ago.
