Fruit punnets already have holes punched in so are useful as planting trays or for cut and come again salad leaves in the house. Plastic take away tubs also get used as plant trays in our house.
I use those too and also sometimes put one on top, sticking a bit of tape long the join on one side, effectively making a mini-propagator.
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
might be horribile to say but my unkle passed away (its okay) but the goodies he left behind it was like a haven (to me) (am such a srcat) but can use so much of the things he left its great! (i do know that if i can make something of it then Yes Id here my Unkle say if you can use it .use it
Obvious one, old toilet roll inners as bio-plant pots. Old plastic bottles - cut in half, use the end with the spout submerged in a planter or near a plant in the garden, easy to fill and get water directly to the roots and use the other end as a cloche. Or cut a tube, with some sticky copper tape around it as a sleeve for young plants to grow through without having to deal with slugs & snails. I also crush up egg shells and sprinkle around new or plants that are prone to slugs & snails. Whenever my next door neighbour needs her bamboo cut back, I keep the old canes & leave them to dry against a wall and use them as plant supports.

I use egg shells mainly In GH pots and on the GH bed as one defence againt slugs and snails but egg shells also add a little calcium to the soil. .
I've seen plastic pop bottles used to construct an entire greenhouse, supported in a wooden frame by netting.
