Hey - I am looking for about 75 empty film containers. I am teaching a Geocaching Merit Badge class and I'm going to have them all make CITO containers. Anybody have a surplus they are willing to sell?

Just go to the photo department at Target and Walmart and ask. Both will give you all that they have. Free.

I've got a whole bunch of diabetic test strip containers if you need them.

I have quite a few film canisters, maybe 75, maybe get you close anyway. You can have them under two conditions: 1. You come get them. 2. Promise they won't end up as caches in my end of town. LOL.

Please consider teaching them about using proper, waterproof cache containers.

Most Walgreens still process film. Check the photo lab there and you should be able to get quite a few. I probably have 30-40 sitting at my store right now, so if you are in the Maple Grove area stop by the one near Old Country Buffet.

You moght also try your local Pharmacy. Empty Pill containers make excellent CITO containers.

I have a ton of them (the good white ones) and I can get more. PM me if you want them and I can get them to you.

Yes, the tops go in so you can use them to make cool containers. (I know you were being sarcastic Smile

If all else fails. I have some white containers with an attached snap top like the test strip container cap. I use them for CITO containers, and they work great. I only have about 1200 of them. So, let me know.
