We are currently in a silly situation when dealing with refillable products for home, and I was wondering if anyone else had any ideas.
If I wanted shower gel (for example), all the refillable locations require a bottle with the capacity printed on it, and for it to be empty. And basically I don’t want to wait until my shower gel is out completely before getting any more, so I would want an intermediate container however I cannot find a 1l bottle that has the capacity embossed on it so that I can take it to the refill station, and bring it home. I really don’t want to buy another small plastic bottle with the capacity on a paper label that does one refill of the gel, and would have to be replaced when the label comes off.
Sorry, yes, that’s what I meant. You buy a marked plastic bottle, and use that to buy the refills.
I’m sure I’ve seen them in some of the bigger shops here, but not the national chains like the supermarkets. Lidl and Aldi would probably have them, but they might be part of the weekly deals though.
You can get drinks bottles that are marked, but they don’t tend to be very strong. They might be ok, depending on how careful you are.
