Can anyone recommend where I can get hold of a tupperware kit suitable for camping, ie, really small ones so I can take a bit for sugar, etc, but also ones that will take liquid like washing up liquid, cooking oil, etc.

Or the little Nalgene bottles, which last virtually for ever -- at least I've got some I've been using on trips for at least 15 years and they're still as new.

Primark do an inexpensive travel bottle set.

For powders plunge a straw into the powder - take out and fold over the end and seal. Cut off other end fold over the end and seal.

7 day pill holders are useful.

Small twists of stuff in cling film.

Small lock and lock containers from most supermarket chains and small liquid containers from Boots', Lloyds', etc., travel sections.

It was suggested on here a few weeks ago, try Small Storage Solutions on shcweb.co.uk. I bought some containers good service

...discussed on this thread shcweb - mostly small containers though....

Ah, they won't be BPA free then, Guy. How are you feeling?

"Ah, they won't be BPA free then, Guy. How are you feeling?"

I was meaning the Nalgene HDPE bottles, which never had BPA in...although I'm also still using a Lexan bottle of similar vintage which presumably does. I've had loads of sleepless nights over it, but only when it rolled under my Thermarest.

Current Nalgene stuff is BPA free and it still great stuff

I switched to HDPE bottles years ago when I first heard about BPA. I kept the old hard polycarbonate bottles I had, though. I've recently started using them again, they don't deform when tightly packed so don't leak and, I mean, I'm 64 years old, so what does it matter if I grow tits?

but i'm concerned as to what Bedouin was doing in a pound shop.

Looking for a penny sweet?

They have a number of good 'in a pinch' deals i.e. I needed an sd/cf reader quick Jessops £15 Poundshop errrrr a quid. Got a 2 set of Canada/USA convert plugs again for a quid.

On the other hand I won't be buying any of there toilet roll any time soon... eeeek!

Sugar, salt, etc.  Go to your nearest takeaway and help yourself to a stack of single use sachets.  Store in plastic bag.

Washing products: use sample bottles, or hotel shampoo/shower gel bottles.

There are plenty of opportunities if you look around at recycled packaging.  Don't try putting wet food in anything that's had strongly franganced products in, though; you're unlikely to be able to remove the pong from PP or HDPE.  You may have better luck with PET.
