Bento bargain found (UK)
posted by Courtney on Tue, 2009-02-03 19:47
There is a 99p store right next to my chiropractor's office, so I pop in every other week. Today I scored a set of 6 silicone cups as well as a set of 10 mini cups. They had them in orange, pink and blue and only 99p per set!
Compared to what I have seen them priced at elsewhere, it seemed like a good deal so I thought I'd share for the UK members. :)

Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely have a look in the 99p store we have in Hammersmith.
If you're into separating ingredients, I recently found an absolute bargain - Whole Foods (the Kensington store) is doing a "back to school" display in which you can get a grab bag of 12 little mini containers in all shapes and sizes (flowers, squares) and colours for £4.99. They can be popped inside most bento boxes and are ideal for taking some dips, raisins, anything you don't want to shake loose all over your bento...
I've found the exact ones you described in Poundland, so I paid ever so slightly more than you did!
