Any ideas where I can get the compartmentalized containers with lids for MM? I'm using it for veggies and dip, so extra points for one with a center circle section! I would like it to be inexpensive, ie less than 50 cents a piece... I looked online last night for about 30 minutes not being very successful in finding what I want.

Anybody ever bought these before for MM? Basically similar to what the candy stores sell their candy trays in.

Thanks for any direction!

I would suggest asking at the candy store. They may be willing to sell you the empty containers. Good luck.

I don't know where you live but when I lived in Israel I always got those at Chad Pe'ami. They had tons of different sizes, shapes, and amounts of sections. And they were a good price.
But I don't know where you can get them in US. How about going into the candy store. they can probably sell them to you

Unless you're buying in quantity -- a case of between 100 and 250 -- you're very unlikely to get them for less than 50 cents. In fact, even at that quantity, you're going to pay more if you also want the lid.

I've purchased them in stores like Evergreen in Monsey, but they were a couple of dollar a piece.

I guess I could ask the candy store, that's true.

Thanks for the link, it at least gave me another way to search for it online.

If it ends up being more than 50 cents any which way, I'll probably change my idea. I don't like to spend more than that on the container that will be thrown away anyhow...

I live in the US OOT, so not sure what kind of B&M store would have it, that's why I'm checking online.

Thanks!

You can still use the same idea just package them differently. How about cutting all the veggies into long sticks (carrot sticks, celery sticks, pepper sticks...) and place standing in a tall cup with dip in a small container placed in or next to the cup. Wrap everything in celophane, tie with a ribbon, and it could look very respectable.

Bumping this up as I am also looking for a sectional container. I am looking for a clear plastic 3 sectional container with a lid. I see PaperMate has them, but they only sell in bulk Sad

, the stores typically don't carry this (as far as I know, they usually only have the 4 sectional one or bigger). Anyone have any ideas on where I can get them? I need about 30 and of course the cheaper the better Smile

.

TIA!!
