Best place to buy disposable water bowls?

So I think I'm going to switch all my snakes to the disposable deli-cup type water bowls with PVC holders. Where's the best place to order them? I know superior enterprises, but was wondering if maybe there was some sort of food supply store that might have them as well for cheaper?

Also what size to most use? 16oz?

I use 16oz del paks for adults (inside of 4" PVC couplers) and 8oz del paks for juvis ... they come 500 cups per case.

I used to order from www.foodservicedirect.com until I found a local paper supply house that delivers for free and is about 1/2 the price. They do have a pretty large min order, but it works out to about what we go through in a month.

Hope this helps.

Looks like I got beat to it ;)

I buy all my deli cups through a local restaurant supply company, and this thread reminded me I have to pick some more up soon! :gj:

I use different sizes of round tupperware in 3" and 6" PVC sections. It's a cheap way to go and nothing gets knocked over. Using a mitre saw to cut PVC pipes into 2-3" sections is a lot cheaper than buying the couplers.

Check if there's a GFS (Gordon Food Services) in your area. They sell the deli cups for about the same price as Superior Enterprises by the time you factor in shipping.

Do you have a photo of what your talking about? Id like to see the setup you got going on.

Thanks for the link!! Just placed an order. Hopefully will save a lot of time of washing water bowls every week.
