Disposable condiment packages

2014 iQ View-Disposable condiment packs...I just tried some online restaurant supply stores --no joy. We have found that we use our vehicle for short 3 to 7 day getaways and stay in our home state of Florida. Three years ago, like all new owners, we loaded on a bunch of condiments-ketchup mustard mayo hot sauce salad dressing salt pepper...you know the drill. Of course, over a relatively short period of time they baked and self destructed in the RV storage lot under the Florida sun. So then, each time we decided we needed to GO SOMEWHERE (you know the feeling "let's get outta here"), we would load all the fresh condiments each time for each trip. Well, we are looking for ways to speed up our load out so we can get going fast! Anybody know of a retail supplier of those little packs of condiments in a "bug out" package? (and yes, I know you can get one here and one there at a fast food place but...and you can buy salt packets from this seller and ketchup from that seller and....)

PS if you think this is a stupid question, please eschew the need to say something sarcastic and look for something else to do

Walmart has some bulk single serve condiment packs, I believe?
Probably Sam's Club and Costco, too.
Also Staples, and Gordon Food Services, have them for sure.
They're not particularly cost effective in the single serve packs, though.

We just buy the smaller mustard, ketchup, whatever containers, and bring them in when we get home. Then use them up, until next trip.

Ditto what Winterbagoal said. We never leave food in the RV when in storage.

Double agree with not storing anything "food" in the RV, even weekdays when in use every weekend...voice of experience with vermin.

We tried the little paks years ago but found them too much of a hassle. Now we go for small size condiment bottles/jars. Except for mayo, that we get in large jars. We go thru 2-3 jars a week, use it almost every meal.

There are many foodservice stores that sell to the public... problem is PCs come in boxes of 500 to 1000.

My DW also wanted to get condiment packs, but the only one she could find was mayo. So many that she didn't come close to using them all on two long trips and had to toss most of them out..

Now she accumulates a bunch of them by getting a few extras from fast food places starting a few months before shoving off.

Grocery stores are starting to carry smaller containers of condiments too.

Hey, Pooolboy, we too take shorter trips these days. We do like Winterbagoal and buy the smallest packaging we can find and use that. Mondo-Wally has a 3-pack of mustard, ketchup, and mayo, and 2-pack of salt and pepper designer for camping or office use; both are in the condiment aisle. Sams and Costco carry bulk version of packets but our old fingers really struggle getting them open without a mess. Have fun.

We don't leave any food related item in our RV in-between trips, not only because the heat exposure in the summer, but also to keep critters out. It really doesn't take that long to load up before a trip.

We have two plastic laundry baskets at home just for transferring food. When we get home I begin by loading the first one from the motorhome fridge and carry it into the house. While the Mrs. is unloading it in the house, I’m loading the second one in the motor home to carry in, then I pick up the empty one that she just unloaded. We continue this process until all the food, cold and otherwise, is unloaded. We can have every item of food unloaded and stored back into the house in no time at all and we’ve become quite good at it. Loading for a trip goes much the same way but takes a little bit longer. We never leave any food at all in the motorhome when not in use.

buy small containers of stuff at dollar tree. Then can use in house or just give/throw away since they are $1 each so no big deal.


To buy the packets they generally come in boxes of about 1000, so just think about that. Other option is to go and buy at a burger joint and then stock up a few more packages at a time. Just real time consuming. Another thing is to buy condiment bottles and fill with what you have in refrig at home.

A local deli could be a good source. They might be willing to share a box of what you want. A whole box would encompass a mega dose of "let's get out of here" episodes!
