Where can I find empty tic tac style boxes, size 1x1 in.? I have many uses for them but I cannot find anyone who can tell me where I can buy them. I hope you can help, thank you!

If you like the mints, you can buy them in bulk from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0010OASFM for 4 cents more per each than with the bead lady who sells them for 25 cents each. It'll be just over $40 for 144 of them.

I happen to have several hundred of them! I started collecting them to build something, but haven't gotten around to it yet. I never really seem to have the time. I still collect them (I am addicted to Tic Tacs) so, if you are interested, I am open to selling some or all of them. The majority are the small, original ones, but I do have some of the newer bigger containers as well. Let me know. Thanks, Pat

Hi,
I always love new clever ideas. What do you use the them for?

Walmart beats the website. I think you get a dozen for 2.67 or something like that. C/L is another good place. They truely are great for all sorts of things, like hairpins, q-tips, toothpicks, waterproof matches, etc. Good luck!!

This company sells them in small and medium sizes.

They are used to hold beads so also check your fabric/craft store in with the beading supplies.

You could also try asking on a freecyle board. Someone on craigslist once had 300+ up for the taking.

I would contact the company - they are usually more than willing to help a consumer.They may not charge you either. You could be a walking advertisement for them of how nice they are.
