Title: Where do folks buy their bottles from nowadays?
Post by: egglady on August 23, 2018, 04:59:57 pm

Hi all,


I've been awol for a loooonnnng time but now I'm back and raring to go.  My new smallholding is overrun with fruit and berries...which of course is great news but I need to quickly find ways to preserve it.  Luckily Dan and Rosemary came to my rescue (thanks again both) and I'm now thinking to make bottles cordials and fruit juices.  Having been out of the loop for a long while, I'm not sure the best place(s) to buy glass bottles anymore - can anyone help please?


Many thanks

Wilko isn't bad or perhaps The Range

We got ours from here last year - quite quick delivery too, and only two out of 70odd were broken on arrival…

www.jarsandbottles.com (http://www.jarsandbottles.com) is the website for Pattesons Glass. I get all my glass from them. Best price and good service

Was in Ikea for something completely unrelated yesterday and found some for £1 :)  Happy me

Another vote for Pattesons, bought 50 500ml bottles with lids for £25.40, free delivery since we bought jars at the same time. A lot cheaper in larger quantities too.
