Where to Find Frugal Busy Bag Containers

Where to Find Frugal Busy Bag Containers

Have you heard of busy bags?  They are a simple activity meant to entertain little ones and ideally it can be re-used again and again.

My mom made several busy bags for Grace last spring and she needed some small containers for a few of them.  In a moment of inspiration my mom decided to see if the deli counter at her grocery store would sell her the containers they use for things like pasta salad.

My mom bought small containers for $0.10, medium containers for $0.15, and lids for only $0.05 from the deli counter!

They are perfect for holding beads and pasta or sorting pom-poms.

Have you ever made a busy bag?  You can find some simple ideas on my Easy-Peasy Busy Bags Pinterest board, including my own post Water Play Busy Bag & Pool Fun That Doesn’t Cost a Thing.

    I have a bunch of those from buying honey and olive oil in bulk from our local health food store. Cool idea!

      Recycling your free containers is a great idea. Thanks for sharing, Becky!

    You can buy these in bulk from restaurant supply places and theyre fantastic for portioning out meals and easy grab and go take ahead lunches and such. You can buy them from amazon as well but I can buy them locally cheaper. Check around!
