LuminousBoutique Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Anyone ever ordered the 5lb jugs of FO from either peaks/CS? I've always just ordered 1lb bottles because although I paid $5-10c more per ounce I thought it was worth it for the bottles to be pre-portioned for me. But its probably just silly and wasteful. If you've ordered them, do you think they need the pump, or do you just pour from the bottle? the pump sounds messy for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deb426 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I use them all the time. I just pour from the bottle. Never had a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevcher Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 same here,straight from the bottle. I use a pump for 25# containers and it can be a bit messy. I keep a shot glass below the spout to catch the drips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I need to be ordering in the 5 lb jugs. :rolleyes2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mparadise Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I have no advise for you on the pumps but I usually just keep one of my 1 lb bottles from the scents I have in bulk and refill that to leave on my FO shelf and store the rest of the jug in a dark closet. It makes it easier for me to handle and takes up less room near my workspace. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlenutz Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I buy the 5# jug from CS and I actually think it pours better than the 1# bottles. I was suprised b/c I didnt know how that would work. Some scents I go through so fast that its financially better for me to get the big 5# jugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuminousBoutique Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 awesome! I was worried about the pouring, good to know its not a huge issue.. and also really looking to cut down the amount of bottles I am tossing out. Cant re-use them for anything... so I just rinse really well and recycle, but even that feels like a waste. Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought.Thats a good idea! my pouring table is only 6x4 and sometimes I need all that space, so that could save alot of space.

I had DH put one of the white linen closet shelves above my workbench. I have all my FO's in storage baskets organized by scent type (fruit, floral, bakery, etc) and put up on the shelf. This keeps them handy but not in the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
