Those little plastic jams, vegemites, butters that you get in hotels etc

[Oakie]

Off camping this weekend and thought that instead of lugging jars of jams and pottles of margarine etc it would be a good idea to just get hold of some of those wee plastic single serve foil topped containers that you get in hotels etc. Anyone know where to buy them?

[Mully]

Cash and Carry?

Or go to a restaurant and pinch a whole lot.

Already thought of that one.

[Mully]

Already thought of that one.

Actually, find a takeaway bar and see if they'll sell you some.

Glimours? They have a supermarket type store arrangement in Dorkland.

Walk into a hotel at breakfast, give a bogus room number, sit down at a table, scoop a pile into your bag and "go to the toilet" ahem leg it.....

I believe you can open an account with them and shop there. They aren't always the cheapest but do have variety unavailable in the supermarkets,

The one up here (well, out West) you have to have a company to open an account (even a cash account)

Film canisters are good - if you can still get them - and reusable.

I think you're right, my daughter and son-in-law have an account but I think it's through their company.

So use that then??

[Edbear]

I'm not the OP here, and I could use my own company to do the same. I have been there with my daughter and bought a few things on their account though.

[Mully]

I'm not the OP here,

Oh yeah. Whoops.

It's been a long day.
And I'm reading about solar hot water systems.
And my dog ate my homework
And the cheque's in the mail.

Vegemite comes in toothpaste style containers now. Just don't get it mixed up with the toothpaste or it will look like you've been eating pooh!:sick:

or minty topping toast....

[Fatt Max]

Easy really, just try these steps

1 - buy a tub of vegemite, spread and a jar of your favourite jam

2 - Trawl through the bins of every major hotel you can get to in town

3 - Retrieve the empty plastic vegemite, spread and jam table containers

4 - Fill said empty containers with vegemite, spread and jam

5 - glue the lids back down

Hey presto, job done and problem solved

I know some slappy old tart who swallows so much spoof she may as well brush her teeth in it...

I don't know whats round your area, but places like Toops, Davis Trading would be the sort of places to check. If you have 1 I am bloody sure Toops do carry them tho.

Oh and FYI be prepared to pay a little bit more for 'em because if I remember right those small packets do carry the "convenience" premium on them

[pzkpfw]

Got "Moore Wilsons" down there?

Up here, they are full of that kind of stuff.



(Seems like a lot of packaging to deal with, when camping...)

[ynot slow]

Toops type wholesalers,can pay cash if you have a dealers name to use at payment,i.e if you know a sports club or business has an account use it and pay.
