I wanna buy disposable plastic bowls with lids

Anyone know any good shops or websites where I can buy these for food use. Just looking for smallish bowls/pots/ctns, must have lids.

    Chinese supermarkets are usually pretty good for stuff like this

    Wilkinsons do great rectangular ones with lids at around 85p for three. They can be used several times and are fine for storing food in the fridge/freezer.

    How small do you want?

    Take a look in the baby section of somewhere like Boots or Tesco, and they do ranges of semi-disposable lidded pots - about cup-sized usually - and not too badly priced.

    :)

    If the size is right, then pound shops with baby sections are also a good place to look.

    Try Asda Living or Asda they have posts with lids on. I was looking at them last week can't remember the price excatly but they came in packs of 5 or 10 and were very reasonable priced.

    Can you ask at your local take away which cash and carry they get theirs from? If they are nice they may sell you some.

    Failing that; why not email one of the big supermarkets and ask them.
