Stirling Sample Containers?

I put my few Stirling samples in 0.75oz stick containers from WCS. But I just looked at the site and they're not in the price range you're looking for at $2.50...nor are they super easy to store.
 
I sorta remember that. Looking for something hopefully cheaper than a buck a piece.
Ok I just saw this. Dollar tree has some packs of metal tins that you get either 1 tin for a dollar or 2 tins for a dollar or 4 tins for a dollar and the other thing is there are xontainers of dove lotion there and at other stores for a dollar that you can either use the dove lotion or transfer it to like an empty pill bottle to use or throw away the lotion and they are a dollar also.
 
Guys I told ya the dove containers hold stirling samples perfectly and the lid screws on !! They are also very cheap !! Jeez do I gotta buy them and put the samples in them for ya? 🤪 also the labels fit great.. Well here..I just took this pic so you could see an example.

I just hoke out 1/4 tsp soap from the sample and press it into bottom of lather bowl. That's about more than a shave's worth.

Just got back from Dollar Tree. The tins that are two for $1 that @Jaro1069 mentioned above are absolutely perfect for Stirling samples.

And they are way cheaper than anything I found on Amazon or eBay, even when purchased in quantity.

Best part is, they are exactly the right size. 2.9” across. And the samples average 3” across. So it doesn’t take much to fit them perfectly to the container, and the soap is soft enough to push it into place. The 2oz containers I found online, were slightly smaller in diameter, so these give more loading room.

I'm so glad they worked out for you... One thing I forgot to mention , some of their containers have a round magnetic disc on the bottom so it makes stacking a breeze....Those look awesome KJ !!

Sometimes they even have the tins in different colors.. I have seen them in red or blue or black or pink and green and yellow before so just keep a look out and they might have those too so you could coordinate the tin with the particular soaps.

Tried 2 different Dollar Trees and no find for me. Even showed a pic to a stocker and they confirmed they didn't have them......................

That's strange. I don't think I have been in one recently that didn't have them.. I hope you have better luck soon.
