Anybody know a good source for buying multiples of teaspoons and tablespoons w/o having to buy complete sets of measuring spoons? Too expensive that way.

I ordered a bunch of coffee scoops from Amazon. I believe they were 1 tablespoon size. For smaller sizes, I bought a couple sets of measuring spoons from the dollar store. That gave me the 1/4 and 1/2 teaspoon sizes I use for grit/polish in the vibe. I think two sets were sufficient for my needs.

What about just getting cheap sets at the dollar store? Or look in to adjustable measuring spoons.

Some ground coffee used to come with a free 1 tbsp. That is what I still use.

I saved a pill bottle or two. I mark them w a line at the correct volume. Then I keep them in the container w the grit and polish.

Whatβs with the Imperial tablespoons in Alabama? I know tumbling ainβt rocket science but does your space museum have an exhibit on the 1999 Mars orbiter that failed to orbit Mars?
