Are there any DIY dosing containers that are super cheap? I don’t need something huge like a gallon, I need something similar to the voss water bottles, but even cheaper. Has anyone found/made any containers for super cheap?

We drink a lot of orange juice at my house. I use the simply orange containers. They fit well in the gap of my cabinet

I couldn't find any glass Voss bottles anywhere without paying an arm and a leg for them. I don't think they are as cheap and easy to find now. At least not in my neck of the woods.
I didn't even know those water bottles existed until I started looking for containers. Probably because no one is going to pay more money for "special" water

I'm going to take a look at some of those amazon bottles. Personally, we don't drink a lot of orange juice, but we definitely keep the milkmen in business lol.

I got these rectangular bottles off Amazon for cheap. Made some solid tubes to draw from the bottom. They are only 3" wide, each.

@LeftyReefer Can you kindly point to the items you purchased on Amazon and elsewhere to make these? They are what I would like to get. Thank you!

They are Nalgene Space-Saver Bottles - 64 fl. oz.
They used to be available from both Amazon and REI, and a lot of other camping supply stores, but it looks like they are out of stock most places now. Not sure where you can find them now unfortunately. It looks like Amazon still has some 32oz bottles, but not the bigger 64oz ones that I have. Campsaver says it still has them, but they want over $20 each for them now, which is a lot more than I paid for them.

I used the lids that came with the bottles, drilled a hole and installed a 1/4" bulkhead fitting in the lid.
(Search for Amazon item #B00YGR2ILM) a pack of (5) is like $5.

I then just measured a piece of 1/4" (semi) rigid tubing to reach/draw from the bottom of the bottle. I used a little heat to make it lay/stay perfectly straight.
