I looked today as well; no luck either.

Maybe next time. Smiling

Goggling "Dollar Tree locations", I found that I WAS at a Dollar Tree. I'm sure the stock varies from week to week and store to store. I'll keep trying.

Rick,
They had them with the little bit of craft supplies they carry.

I walked those aisles, but didn't see anything close.

It was also my first time leaving that store empty-handed. Most of what I did see was too cheesy to be worth a dollar!

I'll look when we go to FL the end of the week. I checked for locations and there is one in DeLand.

The stock does change from week to week. Keep checking, as they may get more stocked at your stores. I haven't had a chance to get to my local store yet to see if they have them.
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.

Great. I may also check Wal-Mart's craft section. If they're cheap, problem solved.

@RickCorey @beckygardner @chelle I just got mine at Dollar General. I found them on the plastic container aisle. Now I don't have to stop at every Dollar Tree, Dollar General and Walmart on the way to Florida! Thumbs up I'll be packing up mine to take with me.

Thanks, Jean. There is a Dollar General in my area, but it is a ways away.

Wal-Mart might not be cheap, so I'll remember to check that DG next time I'm out that way.

I'm also looking for teeny-tiny salt and pepper shakers to carry hot chili pepper powder on-the-go. I hear that Bed, Bath and Beyond have them ... probably at 20 times the cost at a Dollar Store.

@RickCorey and @chelle DG actually had two sizes. The larger one only had two containers and DH tried to interest me in that one and I said I would think about it. Now I wish I had gotten that, too. If I go back and they are out of stock, I will never hear the end of it. Hilarious! Hilarious! Hilarious! Hilarious! Hilarious! Hilarious! Hilarious!

I went to Wal-Mart and found two products: a clear plastic box with a dozen containers that were too big, and another with 20-24 containers that would have been perfect. But the 2-dozen box was around $9 and i didn't feel like I "needed it enough" to splurge.

I guess I've gotten cheap or I'm living in the past when 37 or 50 cents seems like too much for something! I was hoping for a bag of 5-8 containers for a dollar.

P.S. The Dollar general website didn't list any stores in WA or OR! I thoguht I saw one locally, but I guess not. I'll keep my eyes open.

Rick, I agree The ones from Dollar Tree are 6 and 8 in a pack for $1 + tax.
