Ive been looking around for little apothecary jars I could put a stopper and eyelet screw into. I scoured the internet, but never in a million years did I expect to find it in the dollar store! Theyre glass, too, which is fantastic. What could be better than keeping a little emergency stash around your neck just in case?

Just thought I would put it out there in case anyone's been ripping their hair out looking for something like this.

Do you know how many ml's of liquid the jars hold? Thanks for the heads up!

5ml maybe? They look to be the same size as some 5ml sample bottles I have... They are small...

I got some bottles at our local health food store, 15ml but still works....

I'm going to go buy some and test it. Usually the little bottles are used for pendants and crafts, so they might hold between 2 and 4ml of liquid. Ill find out in a bit

Was at Dollar Tree today and my local one did not have this. I am curious to hear how many ml's they do hold. I'm guessing around 3 ml from the video - they are small. They might be perfect for single flavor testing samples.

very interesting. I will check my local Dollar Tree next time I am in the area.

It DOES go to show just how cheap these little bottles really are in bulk. Makes you wonder why some places sale little plastic bottles for $1.50 or more...

I used to buy 3ml bottles from Dollartree. They were the liquid breath drops. They needed a good soak first to get the mint taste out (unless that's your thang) but they worked perfect and came in a 3 pack.

I checked the other Dollar Tree in my area and they do not have this item either.

I did ask about it, but was told it may come in next week's shipment. Or it may not.
Has anyone had any luck finding this in your local store?
I am still very curious about how many ml's it holds.

I have these. I use them for miniature dioramas. I just filled one with water and it held 1ml with the stopper on. The stopper isn't very snug either.

I know this is not from a B&M, but there are MANY options on eBay with free shipping via USA sellers like this for example:
10 Pack 10ml Plastic Pet Clear Dropper Bottles DIY Vape Mod E Juice E Liquid USA | eBay

Hope this helps.
