Stainless Steel "Mug"
I stopped by the "Family Dollar" store in Lake City, Florida to get another package of two blade disposable razors - they work for me just as well as the far more expensive - 3->5 blade non-disposable razor sets - by a company that shall remain nameless after their "girly-boy" ads on TV.
While there I found "New Country Double Wall Stainless Steel Mug - 18 fluid ounce" (unfortunately made in China). Double wall - wide mouth opening - nice carry handle - snap locking flip "drinking-opening" cover -- supposed to be leak proof - in this case colored red so I can find where the heck I left it. Was under $6 - tax - tag - & title.
If you want the handle to be for your right hand - set it down with the handle to the right side - set the lid down on the opening with the drinking opening facing you - it rotates one 360 turn clock-wise. If you want the handle in the left side - set it down with the handle to the left - set the lid down with the drinking opening facing you - it rotates one 360 turn clock-wise.
It is "supposed" to be leak proof - I have turned it upside down with the snap lock flip cover closed and only one drop came out on three tries. If you dropped it from 2-3 feet high - maybe it might come open and you would have some liquid on your auto's "Weather-Tech" floor liner. Simply turning it over accidentally isn't going to make it come open.
I am going back to the "Family Dollar" this weekend and all they have out on the shelf is mine regardless of the color.

Did you find the only thing at the dollar store that costs more than a dollar? 0 -
Found out the hard way how leakproof some of these cups are. About 15 years ago I was driving to work at 5:30 in the morning with my favorite Bass Pro travel mug in the cupholder in the console. Some idiot coming towards me wanted my lane and the only way to go to avoid a head on was the right shoulder. Hidden by the snow was a large root system that made a large hump that I hit. This caused the Blazer to roll over and land back in the road. There was a witness that told the cop that if I hadn't taken the shoulder they would be scraping bodies out of the vehicles. When the tow driver got there he said "sorry I took so long I guess the ambulance already left". Of course I was standing there talking to the officer when he said this. Kinda gave me a creepy but lucky feeling. Later that day the wife drove me over to the lot to clean out the Blazer and I could not find the mug. No coffee spilled anywhere but no mug. Judy asked if I was sure I had taken it that morning as she couldn't figure out how you can roll and total a vehicle and not spill your coffee. Guess the tow driver or someone at the lot where it was taken figured if the accident couldn't make it leak they had to have it.

Family Dollar and Dollar Tree are two diff entities. There are actually MANY items Made In The USA at Dollar Tree.Mr. Perfect wrote:Did you find the only thing at the dollar store that costs more than a dollar?0 -

If you did not also get the license, it is not legal for you to drink from it. Drinking from it while driving is a third class felony 'Driving while drinking without a license.'0
