    I use the PVC pipe end cap things from the hardware store. Cheap, and have yet to be tipped! I had to sand down the edge a little, but that's about it

    Yea monk just linked me to deli cups $31.75 for 500 comes to about $0.06 per cup. $2 a holder.

    I think its worth it for the peace of mind no tipping and no cleaning water bowls no more. Cleaning 12 bowls is a pain in the butt.

    It was a joke. You said you bought them at the dollar store. So you paid twice as much as I would have paid for them at a dollar store.

    On a side note, my baby pastel tipped the steel bowl over last night. Guess I'll try the PVC.

    I use ceramic bowls with all 13 of my snakes and have never had a spilled water dish. It's worth the few extra bucks to me.

    I still don't think you do, but whatever.....

    Acceptable responses would be.....
    • lol, how do they get away with ripping people off like that??
    • They came in two-packs.
    • Inflation, what can you do?
    • There use to be a time when everything at the dollar store only cost a dollar. Now it's more like "try and find the one item that only costs a dollar"....


    Not
    $2 for a large stainless steel dog bowl is getting ripped off? Show me where I can get it cheaper, then. 'Cause that's the cheapest I've seen..

    Maybe you should have used the sarcasm font

    Well I'm sorry my response wasn't to your expectations. [/sarcasm]

    Really, I am not here to argue over something so silly! Just a stupid forum misunderstanding. It happens.

    Sorry for the thread Hijack.
