Looking for small Measureing/Mixing cups

Anyone have a good (cheep) source for those small 2tbs/ 40ml plastic cups for measuring resin. I've given up my addiction to cough medicine.

Thanks.

BTW. Applesauce and fruit cups are perfect for mixing just about anything in. Resin, washes, paint, etc. I've got a stack of these things and have the kids save them from their school lunches.

I've found them in sleeves of fifty at Hobby Lobby-though they can be tricky to find, and every time I've doen so, it was after the staff insisted
they had nothing like htat in the store...

Most LHS will have them in the tools section - both mine carry them

If you're looking for an online source

Micromark has 24 1.5oz cups and 24 stir sticks for $12.50

Or you can go larger

Test Tubes Online has 3oz cups with built in pour spout for $0.25 each - these are what I get and use for most of my casting

Any restaurant supply store will have them for next to nothing, usually in styrene but sometimes in PETE. Or even paper.

there are countless sources for disposable mixing cups out there.
The cap from a can of shaving cream
empty pudding cups
Just to name a couple.
