    Also try Oil and Vinegar if you have one around by you. You can buy the bottles to have them filled in the shop with their oil or vinegar but i'm sure you can buy just the empty bottles. xxx

  • hi
    i would not bother with ikea, i went there on saturday for this very reason and all they had were the large bottles. i did ask but the staff did not know if they would be getting any in.
    not much help really.
  • Try ordering from the ikea website? Might be easier if they dont have them in store. Also you could try those big wholesale stores like Makro, they sometimes carry things like this in bulk. Have you tried ebay?

    another option would be to go to somewhere like home bargains and but some olive oil or something similar in a nice pretty bottle, either empty out the contents into another bottle or down the sink wash thoroghly and then you can reuse? I know not very mse but may help
