Forum rules
1) Please search
before posting. Note that you should also search content-relevant forums (like Food & Drink for those items, and not just WCIF). If there is a content-relevant forum, the thread should be there, not here.
2) Please append your request to an existing thread if you find a stale one, rather than starting a new one.
3) Please post separately for each search item, not one thread for "olives and sour cream". Two threads, one for each. This makes it much easier for the moderator to merge your thread with an existing one, if any.
Of course, if you still can't find what you're looking for, please do feel free to post, and we'll do our very best to help you find what you need. If you have any trouble using the search function or the forum, please don't hesitate to send a PM (private message) to the Where Can I find...? moderator asking for help. Happy posting!!!

ISO Cheap, pref. free, plastic containers
by pengyou » 05 May 2012, 12:48
I have only been in Taiwan for 4 months but have already come to the conclusion that every dry, powdery substance has to be put in some kind of air tight container. So..I am looking for a source of cheap or free plastic containers. By free I mean that if I buy some product, the product usually comes packed in a reusable plastic container - just as margarine used to.

Buy some freezer-weight ziplocks (any grocery, Costco, etc.), and some dessicant packets (any DIY baking shop; see sticky in Food section). Inexpensive (e.g. 8-10NT) plastic boxes that seal area also available at the latter.

I have a collection of Lock n' Lock containers precisely for that reason. If it is not mold, then it's ants/roaches/bugs (especially rice) and then, as Dragonbones said, use secant packets.

If any new arrival needs assistance in Taipei, I can provide it in exchange for Star Trek or Supernatural (the TV series) stuff or other sci-fi materials. Let me know what help you need by PM, along with what you have to offer in return. And yes, I am serious.
