I'm also looking for small styrofoam shipping coolers, about 12"x12", and the cardboard box containers they fit in if anyone knows where to get them.

Talk to some of the LFS that you frequent. They probably have more cooler boxes coming in than they know what to do with.

The LFS wouldn't have them that small though....They get their stuff in BIG boxes.

But I am also looking into the shipping containers for personal use, John I'll let you know what I find.

Just got back from looking at their containers.

Clear round 16oz "soup" containers 500/case = $37.68 or about .08¢ ea.

Clear round lids for containers above 500/case = 28.58 or about .06¢ ea.

John, we in there today, and the lids were on special for $17.99. That would be 500 of each out the door for $59, so only 11¢ per frag. Not bad, IMO.

Also, the "gotcha" on their membership - it's free, but you need to shop there once a month to keep your membership active. No problem for a restaurant, but a little harder for us.

So what do I owe you for my 200?

Well, we do have a club meeting once a month which requires a snacks purchase...

Took me all of 5 min to fill out the online application and print out the "get $ 25.00 off your first $ 100.00 purchase" coupon.

Took it to the RD in Medley yesterday with my business license and had my card in 1 minute.

It's quite an amazing store, no carts, only these giant wagons which I didn't bother with. So I bought all I could carry in my two hands

I could imagine going there once a month for sodas, paper towels, plastic cups, garbage bags, alu foil etc...But I don't think I will buy their 50lb bags of potatoes, onions or rice

Who wants to share a 5lbs container of peeled garlic for $ 3.98?
