I have about a dozen 5 gallon rubbermaid totes that are now empty (previously used for collectibles storage). I have nothing to store in my attic or garage, and the few things in my basement tend to be too large to fit in a 5 gallon tote (camp gear, tools, holiday decor). Their roundedness and opaqueness and smallness make them seem a less useful choice than cardboard boxes and clear totes. However, I have lots and they're purple (pretty!) and they stack nicely... lol... so I'm hesitating about discarding them in case I simply haven't found the right use for them yet :)
What do you store in yours?
