Alternative Soap containers
Howdy gentlemen!
Being a very frugal person and super picky I have dealing with an issue of absolutely minimal importance. Empty soap containers for refill pucks like Tabac or DR Harris. Yes, I could buy the ones offered, but the mark up is silly. I could buy old spice mugs, but I want a lid. Plastic is a no go, too light and I don't like the sharpish edge that rubs on the brush as you load. Pyrex is the next logical choice, but I not a huge fan...
So, what do I do. I love the glass containers of MdC; seals well, hefty and it isn't plastic. So, peel back an MdC label find the manufacturer, based in France with an exorbitant minimum order quantity (a couple hundred is too many, for me at least). Other sellers have some 200ml glass jars, yet minimum quantity of 24 is still a bit ridiculous. Roughly 7 bucks each with shipping and lids.
I decided to give the problem to my father as a gift request for Christmas. Couple days later I get a text, "what do you feel about candy dishes?"
I got 4 of them for Christmas, and though they won't really *seal* like MdC, they hit all the other buttons. I'll post some pics after work, but my SOTD has the one my Tabac resides in.
Now, what to put in the other 3? And what are some alternative containers you like to use?
