Where are you located? I get my deli cups from a store called Smart and Final. You can probably find them at many restaurant supply stores.

I just go to my local deli and they will sell me a sleeve of empties super cheap!

I wish mine would do this. I just buy one full cup and stack 5 or 6 underneath it and go to the self checkout. Shifty.

 

[fleurdejoo]

Do you regularly shop there?

If so they should sell them to you!

if i didnt have so many stalis i'd give u some 80oz cups without hesitation

you could probably get some at a local deli, or at a place that does takeout. that's where i get mine, and i have a LOT of containers

Mantisplace.com has the 100 32oz deli cups with lids for only $31.75. Sounds like a great deal.

I haven't bought anything there yet because I had a bunch from the 99 cent store that I had from awhile ago but I always thought if I needed some in the future, that would be the way to go.

We order from SuperiorShippingSupplies.com in bulk once or twice a year, You can also get them cheap from Joshsfrogs but the cups seem to be a cheaper brand they bend and crack easier in my opinion.

I get them from my deli for 20 cents a pop with lids!

I bought 25 today for $5. and asked to speak to their manager to see if I can wrangle a supplier name.

She wasn't in.

Granted they do not have vented lids or as nicely see through as Rebecca's.

But if you need an enclosure quick it'll do.

I vent the lids myself, not a big deal.

The owner knows about it, and laughed when I told her what they were for. She doesn't care as long as I at least buy something.

 

[AxolotlsAreCoolToo]

Yah, you can use my bathroom, NOT!!!

Mantisplace is the best place to buy them because they have the kind of lids that work best, and the plastic is not as cloudy as other sources.
