IMPORTANT! I recommend that you Store Your Milk, Honey and other Food in Glass Not Plastic!! see - http://www.mercola.com/2003/apr/16/food_storage.htm
Glass canning or preserving jars - also called utility jars or mason jars - with wide mouth (for easy cleaning) are available at many supermarkets, hardware, kitchen and thrift shops in 1 Litre/ 1 Quart size and many other large and small sizes.
Hayes Hammer Hardware has many sizes, large - including 4 and 5 L - and small ones, good for storing or transporting your milk, honey and other foods, as well as for making sauerkraut and other cultured, fermented vegies.
Warehouse has 3 L, 2 L and many other sizes, also Briscoes has various sizes.
You can find the wide mouth jars for easy cleaning.

Squatting Stools:
The habitual use of sitting toilets might be responsible for some common ailments found mostly in westernized countries, including:
chronic constipation , hemorrhoids, inflammatory bowel disease, prostate disorders, incontenence, appendicitis, colon cancer and many other serious conditions. Important information for everyone who cares about their health!
Switching to the squatting position to use the toilet often reverses many of these health issues!!!
In addition, changing to the squatting position is considered profoundly instrumental for preventing these conditions.
Now there are handy removable stools that allow you to squat comfortably over the toilet -
'Nature's Platform' is a handy, easily removable stool
that fits right over our regular toilet, and can be whisked away in seconds.
I wish I'd had something like this years ago -
as the earlier you start, the better for your lifelong health,
but I'm thankful to have it now!
There are other products available, but most of the others do not enable you to do a full squat
in the optimal squatting position.
Most of the others have fixed footpads,
but 'Nature's Platform' allows me to move and position my feet
to where they are most comfortable for me.
The extra wide one makes me feel more secure and stable,
as I am not quite as agile as I'd like to be.
I use a seperate small stool to climb up onto it.
