I have found a few things for my prep-room that hasn't cost anything, just a bit of time when I go shopping
Storage Containers - I got these from 2 of my local ice-cream stores, they were happy to give them to me
![Thumbsup :thumbup:](./images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
these are great containers for alot of different things, they are reasonably strong and can be use for things such as storage and containers that students can use for their pracs. (pictures of the containers in the attachment)
I have also managed to find resources of things like free pieces of granite, sandstone, limestone and marble from a local stone masonry (they make bench tops for kitchens), these will be good to use for acid and heat tests.
At my little local paint store, i was able to get mismatch paint pot sample for a small cost
if you have any ideas, please share
