trying to find large plastic shaker bottles (like these) that are not sold by amazon. (Reason: Sick of barkeepers friend clumping)

I have not found them thus far but I have found a place that will sell me a 3kg tin of nacho cheese and one that will sell me a box of replacement plastic grinder tops for pepper mills.

I reuse bi carb containers. This one has cheap bi carb in it for cleaning

After I finish the one in the cupboard I'll use it for bar keepers friend.

Large spice jars like McCormick have lids like this too.

Hahaha. Buy a chives jar and decant because they don't last long.

The rest goes in a coffee jar with a plastic bag and a rubber band

Ok. You want plastic. I'd still go with the bi carb containers and the coffee jar.

Alternatively have a look in those cheap Asian shops.

Why not glass? Get yourself a giant jar of olives, eat olives and repurpose said jar. That's what I do with my sourdough starter. And I don't even eat olives, so I give them to my mum!
