BlsdMama Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 It didn't occur to me that I would need to have them shipped! I'm making a cute little gift for 21 high school coaches for *Thursday* and I need to find these or switch my game plan! Any ideas? We checked Target, Wal-Mart, CVS, Walgreens, Dollar General so far,.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domestic_engineer Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 (edited) Would your dentist be able to give you some? It's a long shot, I know. ETA: Kroger. Apparently my local Kroger has their brand in stock. I searched for "bathroom cups" Edited December 14, 2022 by domestic_engineer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlktwins Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 I've had a lot of trouble find the little paper ones for the bathroom. I found mine at Safeway (grocery store) if you have one of those near you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercyA Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 I wonder if there is a shortage? Or if stores just aren't selling them? I checked my local Walmart and Target and they don't have them either. Weird! It looks like Dollar Tree carries them, but my local store does not have them in stock. Search for "Small Designer Paper Cups" on their site to see if they are in stock by you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawz4me Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 I believe the main factory that made Dixie cups was closed last year. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
math teacher Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 You might check locally owned hardware stores or pharmacies that don't get as much traffic. They might still have some in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up ordering a package of generic ones from somewhere but haven't tried them yet (I can't remember where I got them). I think they are plastic though.

Pippen Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 I'm not sure where you're located but Kroger and Jewel Osco both carry them. I ran into the same problem in fall looking for plastic 3 ounce cups I needed for a lab. Walmart always used to carry them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeAgain Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 You can check the baking aisle of Walmart or stores like Michael's. They won't be exactly the same, but they do sell small white party favor cups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlsdMama Posted December 14, 2022 Author Share Posted December 14, 2022 I'm searching all your suggestions - thank you! This thread might be the most perfect example of how the Hive works, lol, adding just a little info each time. I woke up in the middle of the night and read the thread. When we got up this AM, I was telling DH it might be impossible to find the little paper Dixie cups because ... And he asked if I dreamt it. 😉 Nope. The Hive knows all the things! As an alternative I did find on Pinterest how to make "snowman soup" with the white styrofoam cups so maybe I'll go that route. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just bought a pack of 3 oz plastic cups from my Walmart--100 count for $2.52. They are white though--maybe you needed clear. I'm using them to start seeds. I was looking for paper, too--so I could compare performance. I had no idea about the Dixie thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
