How does it work out when you add in trasportation costs? The boxes will stack more efficiently and there will be less overhead in weight.

You've a very good point Faldage. Glass bottles are very expensive to ship because of the weight. I know that for 1L foam bath, it nearly doubles your freight costs because the glass bottles weigh more than the plastic bottles and you cannot double-stack the pallets in the trucks.
One of my manufacturers makes soup stocks. The tetra pak stocks are much more expensive to produce than canned stocks but people like them because they are more convenient. They are made with a spout so a reasealable if the whole litre is not used.

Of late, I have been buying chicken stock and beef stock in boxes rather than in cans. Seems to be the hip new thing in packaging.
WHAT? You don't prepare your own chicken and beef stock yourself? You don't spend several hours a day concentrating stock, putting in new meat, straining, cooking, etc.
Where can I get that stuff?

Nope, never heard it used to mean a motley collection, only to mean a trivial thing, or a scrumptious dessert.

Getting back to the thread, yes, I do prepare my own meat stocks, but only about four times a year and that is not nearly enough to keep the vicar's kitchen goin', hence the need to resort to store bought.
