I've been making travel mugs off and on for a couple years now. Due to my limited disability income I had been buying the travel mugs from Hobby Lobby or Micheal's with the plastic liner and stainless insert for usually $2.99-$4.99 as an affordable option compared to the $12-$13 they cost from other woodworking suppliers. The plastic liners are easily removed and the steel liner is ready to use.
Lately none of the local Hobby Lobby, Michael's, or Christmas Tree Shoppe store are currently carrying them. I have an order to make a few and I have a couple upcoming christmas craft shows that I can usually sell some at. But in my area at crafts shows the going rate is around $35-$40. So, the $12-$13 dollar cost eats in to what little profit is possible.
Are any of you getting travel mug liners from other affordable sources?
Thanks
