Since my blood pressure has been high as of late I decided to buy a squeeze bottle to squirt oil into my frying pan instead of just slopping it in straight from the jug and then trying to eyeball how much I want to keep and pouring the rest into a jar for later. Hell and high water! An empty squeeze bottle carried a $2.99 price tag! EMPTY! A squeeze bottle with not so fine a tip fill of mustard costs 89 cents. You know which road I took! I have a jar of mustard that was nigh onto empty, now it's nearly full again. Smells like it'll take a couple more washings to get all the aroma, taste and taint out of the mustard squeezer but I wash a few dishes nearly daily (unless I opt for paper plates and plastic ware) so it's no big deal. I got a bigger bottle albeit w/o the fine control nozzle and saved myself $2.10.
I see that a taco joint that I won't name is now selling their taco sauce in grocery stores. For the price of one taco I can fill my pockets with about 3 bottles of sauce. At the deli I get 1 or 2 packs of mustard and mayo for now and a pocket full for later along w/ any other condiments ( salad dressing, hot sauce, etc) they may have for my convenience.
Hey! As long as I'm there I may as well pick up enough plastic forks, knives and spoons to last me a couple days or so. Cheap is good, free is better!
