I use 800ml VOSS bottles in the fridge for cold water. Last night one fell to the floor and smashed. I searched but it's showing "out of stock" at Colesworths. Have they pulled the product?
Hm… Just saw it seems to be available at IGA. I think the local IGA has closed so I'd have to wait until I drive past one again. Does anyone know the cheapest it usually discounts to?
OP only needs 1 i assume.
Well, for the moment… But it's going to get exy fast if I break any more.
Out of Stock.
I looked at a different sku.
I think it was a single.
;)
Can get glass water bottles at kmart too
Or Dollar King, but they're 1 Litre.
Thanks. I'll look up the nearest store. I thought about finding something made of metal instead, but I like seeing the level - how much is still in the bottle.
Thanks, that was going to be my next question, lol. (What's everyone using instead.)
I like the wide mouth and uniform shape of the Voss bottles. I have two fridge shelves placed as close together as they can go, and the Voss bottles fit well there. I wish I'd known Colesworths were going to drop the line. Soon after buying several I did notice they had gone from the shelves and wondered what I'd replace them with if I ever broke them. I just figured it was another item my local stores didn't stock but larger stores still did.
I always break glass, and I also don’t like metal.
I have a few Kathmandu ones. They last for ages (actually I think there’s only one I’ve had over 15 years that I no longer use) and are dishwasher safe and bpa free.
This one I have and like:

But I also have some of the older wide mouth ones like this:

Thanks. This one looks promising, but the price - wow. https://www.kathmandu.com.au/gear/accessories/bottles-flasks…
I refilled a 10L plastic water container from Colesworths for a while, but they take up a third of the fridge because you can't put anything on top of it. I wish someone would make a wide flat one. (Shaped like those blue fridge "bricks" you freeze and put in an esky.)
@[Deactivated]: If you have a membership and go to any outlet store, you can usually get an old model for half that. In fact, most of mine I’ve gotten for $0-$5 because I use my birthday or anniversary $20 voucher.
I guess these are the Kmart ones? https://www.kmart.com.au/product/1l-clip-top-bottle-42692713… Pity the mouth is so narrow. Do you have them? I used to have some like that when the seal was a rusty-brown colour, rubber I think, and they used to crack and leak. (I store the bottles lying down in between two fridge shelves to save room.) Cheap enough to try though I guess.
Or I could look like a wino forever: https://www.kmart.com.au/product/1l-brown-glass-bottle-42268… - just need the obligatory wine cork.
Too small: https://www.kmart.com.au/product/650ml-pine-green-glass-drin…
Looks like these are way too thick: https://www.kmart.com.au/product/badge-glass-bottle-42967477…
Maybe these: https://www.kmart.com.au/product/sodastream-1l-carbonating-b… - not a fan of plastic, but don't like cleaning up broken glass either. I wonder if these are "safe" health-wise over time… microplastics or whatever.
Oh wait… the Sodastream ones state: "They can be used for up to 2 years." Seems they're "Mission Impossible" bottles that self-destruct, should you choose to accept your mission of buying them!?
Yeah I saw that a little while ago while searching. It's sure going to get expensive replacing them. I'll have to check out what alternatives there are I guess.
Lol and I just recycled a bunch as it was sitting in my cupboard, never being used. Could have sold it as a collectors item
I thought the lids would have worn out long ago, started leaking, got cracked, etc. It's been a few years though, and as above, they're always lying on their side.
Just buy a box from Amazon
