My local safeway sells 'em for about $3.50 each. Basic clear plastic bottles, work great, and dirt cheap so its no big deal if they get left behind, destroyed, lost etc.
You can get this guy for a buck at Walmart. The tip of the nozzle is a little too small for a sauce with chunks in it. I make up for this by cutting the tip off to make the hole bigger. Hey, it's a buck!
Yes, I buy those bottles for my Controlled Burn hot sauce. I also bought the shrink wrap bands. Gave a bunch away as Christmas gifts. Didn't see this thread until today...sorry
Formerly bought sauce bottles at Cost Plus World Market, where they have various sizes. The ones I bought were glass “flip topâ€Ââ€â€like a Grolsch bottle. Fairly pricey per bottle. Then, it hit me. Why not buy Grolsch, drink the beer, and save the bottles. Cheaper by more than 50%, “free†beer, good beer, sturdy bottles. Now we have homemade salad dressings and various sauces all the time, plus homemade Thai Sweet Chile sauce, which makes a danged tasty dipping sauce. Just 1 part vinegar, 1-2 parts sugar, hot sauce or pepper flakes to taste. Heat the vinegar/sugar mixture a bit to help with dissolving, but not too long or you’ll get vinegar taffy…
My wife makes Kaluha every year for Christmas presents. We use the 16 oz. Grolsch bottles. I did around 24-28 bottles a year to "help out". That's just the kind, giving, attentive husband I am.
I get bottles cheap. I work in the "promotions" department at work. My job, 3 out of 4 days at work at least, is to sample our products. Sometimes I keep the bottles rather than recycle them. We did some tea awhile back, came in 16 oz glass bottles, ended up with 2 dzn of them. THen there's Lorina Lemonaid comes in cool bottles, goes on sale sometimes 2/$4 - my 20% discount, the bottles are worth more than that, and it's decent lemonaid.
