I have saved a lot of time buying things online. But I don't know what to do with this time I've saved. I would like to store it securely for later use. What is the best container in which to store saved time?

Well, Fluffy, this is a philosophy question. So, you think Life is a container for time? Thus, there was no time before life?
Try the Trivia section.

They were discussing either to build a railway or a motorway between a certain city and the capital in some far away country in the far east in some time.. the project team explained the mayor of the city in detail that if they built a railway they would go to the capital in two days but if they built a motorway they would go in just one day. The mayor asked them what they would do with the one day they will have thus spared..
This is a story i always think of when we 'save' time in funny ways.. If there is nothing really worth doing, what is the point of saving time??
i was beginning to grow tired of here but your questions refreshed me.. please pour more :))

Time tends to spoil very quickly but it does run slower in heavier gravity. So a storage vessel made from the stuff of a black hole should hold it fairly well.
It's gonna be very tough getting the lid off that though.
Alternatively:
A stitch in time save 9 so maybe the solution is to buy a sowing machine and use all that time to multiply by 9 (or something).
Sorry, Philosophy.
You could say Children.
Have children. They take a great deal of your time when they are young. If you've saved time by net shopping you'll have more to give them. Their lives extend beyond yours (hopefully) thus repaying that time. Unfortunately they rarely give much time back to you - it's more of a charity thing on your part. But it saves it going to waste.

Oh would that there were a bank in which we could store time for later use. It would be something like what we have at work, for each two weeks I work, I get 13.8 hours off with pay. I can save this up to 500 hours. Now, how to convert this concept to time in our lives, I have not a clue. Maybe the answer lies in time travel or parallel time. a very interesting concept

Sorry to disappoint you, but saved time must be used within 30 seconds of the saving of the said time. Saved time ceases to exist after this window has closed. I do know of some people who are developing a time freezer! So in the future you may be able to freeze time rather than save it!

The best container to store time would be in your mind. Add up the approximate amount of time you have saved and treat yourself to the equivalent amount of time doing something you enjoy. Bank it up and have a weekend break etc.. The question is... will you allocate yourself this time? You should, otherwise you haven't really saved yourself any time at all :-)

Unfortunately, one cannot store time. You can only use it, usefully. You could use it to sleep, which restores the body and mind. Or to learn something new: a language, a cuisine, a craft.
To make time last longer, try doing nothing at all. This might be what is known as 'meditation' and can elevate you into a timeless state.

Go on-line and buy yourself the most beautiful container you find, preferably a bit mystic and eastern, maybe even perfumed. When you receive it, don't open it. Put it in a treasured spot in your home, and everytime you have a spare moment, go to it, caress it and it will inspire you to take a little time out.

I store mine in a plastic container with an air tight lid so that it does not escape.I have it clearly labelled,"My time box".I have other containers ready for when this one is full.Keep them out of the reach of children as my pesky little grandson got hold of mine and opened it thinking it was Lego(he is too young to read)and lost me 3weeks..Anyway good luck with yours.

There's a device called "Memory"
By saving time, you can do more that creates activites to go in the Memory. You can then access this whenever you want.
