    i buy mine too :( but its not too bad as we have a chinese wholesalers in town that dont mind selling to 'normal' people instead of shops. So its 85p for 10 of the plastic tubs with lids so i can just wash them out and reuse them :D I only chuck them if ive had something like spag bol in them and it discoulours the tub.

    i love that shop, soy sauce is 55p for half a litre.... bargain!!! and rice and noodles are soooo cheap. we are on first name terms in there now lol
