Good points, because Ed showed me a plastic pipe and asked me ...how about this?
Well, the cardboard meant that although the mats had to be stored high in a cupboard, I didn't have to worry if in case I dropped the container or it fell on my foot. And because it was cardboard, it had a bit of give in it so that I could grip it better. And it didn't cost me anything because we ate all the oats in it.
It's not as if I can't come up with something else. We have a few plastic drink containers/pitchers/or whatevers no longer in use...I could use one of those. I just thought someone who shops a lot would know if such a cardboard item existed in Canada. It's surprising what you have that we don't have and vice-versa. And according to Anna N, we don't have them. And I can believe that easily.
