Big Cheap Simple Glasses

[scott123]

I'm a big guy and I like big beverages. When I go shopping for glasses, I usually end up buying flower vases. Seriously. 32 oz. is about the ideal size for me.

I've scoured walmart, target, ikea, bed bath and beyond, crate & barrel, supermarkets, dollar stores- all to no avail.

I've been calling florists. They might be able to special order me something but it would be in the $10 realm. Ideally I'd like to spend less than $5 per glass.

I like simple. Cylindrical/straight up and down. The last glasses I had were 6" tall and with a 3" diameter.

A 1000ml beaker without much of a flare would be great. Finding a local laboratory supplier that sells retail in small quantities has proven to be tricky, though.

Anyone else like big glasses? And, if so, where do you buy them?

What about these from Ikea? They're actually pretty big and indestructible. I don't care for them, but my husband loves them. I think they come in different sizes too because I'm almost certain that the ones that we have hold more than 12 oz.

I think I still have all my boardwalk/carnival prize giant glasses packed away somewhere

We got some really big tumblers at Fortunoff in Wayne that are nearly indestructable, but it was like 10 years ago. Generally speaking though, when it comes to glassware and kitchenware, Fortunoff is an excellent store to go to.

Call a restaurant supply store. Sometimes they will sell you less than a case.

7-11 big gulps are big glasses if you don't necessarily want class or glass (or both) :-) hope that helps! Big hearty glasses and you can refill em with the lids etc! I drink TONS of water every day... I drink so much if it was alcohol I'd be dead in less than a week of cirrhosis! (grin)

Wow, some great ideas, thanks!
