I got my elephant tin at the local Cost Plus World Market as well as my PG
Tips. They both cost more than a dollar though. THe one place I've seent he
elephant tins online were selling them for almost $20 (these are tins that
hold maybe a half pound of tea...not huge, not tiny) but when I got them at
WM they were around $7.00. They were on closeout though, but I wouldn't pay
$20 unless I really really wanted the tin, (which I think are cool looking).

PG Tips goes for around $5.00 (?) a box. Maybe a little less, but it's more
than Tetley's or Liptons for instance.

Strange to me that shells come in tins, I've only seen them in boxes. Just
my thoughts: I'd be careful using tins that had ammo in them, because of the
leftover dust possible from processing that could include chemiclas
(gunpowder etc.) or metal alloy dust. Course if you clean the tin out really
good then I don't suppose it would cause any problems unless the tin itself
for some reason wasn't food grade...blah blah, lol.
