McDonald’s Happy Meal toys have been known to set off collector frenzies, but more mundane items from Mickey D’s can be worth putting aside, too, especially if they’re scarce or are likely to disappear.

Other examples of why you might want to save stuff from McDonald’s: The old-school mini coffee spoons that were discontinued years ago and a limited-edition Szechuan dipping sauce for McNuggets also sell for surprisingly high prices.
