I have a dim recollection of something like this being mentioned ages ago, but I ran across a couple of these PETE plastic pharmacy bottle and thought I would share it. It is graduated to 400ml/14oz and like like it will go to 500ml. It weighs 1.6oz. I like the color and the childproof cap. I'll add a couple Mr. Yuck stickers and a label too.

Best part, it was free. I just asked at the Target Pharmacy if I could have an unlabeled bottle and they gave it to me.

I had to pay $0.50 for this one :)
Mar 23, 2013 at 8:02 am #1968788I asked nicely and my phamacy gave me one as well. Good bottles. I have a nalgene cap on mine that fits perfectly and no leaks.
Mar 23, 2013 at 9:18 am #1968798I have used these but had a cap leak.
Where do you get the cap, Ken, and which cap?
Thanks!
