You can usually get them at a local restaurant supply company and sometimes stores will sell then to you also.

You can also just buy small tupperware containers at the dollar store, walmart, etc.

Wal mart or Publix might give you a few, be cheeky and ask like we did lolol we needed to ship out some snakes kinda asap and needed them there and then.....they where only happy to help :P

Pfft, it's called Arby's, ladies and gentlemen I usually just make a visit to restaurants that carry them for condiments. Arby's is known for this, so I usually grab a bunch of them whenever I go there, and it costs you....nothing If you can't find a restaurant that has them available to the public then you can order them from a restaurant supply company, as previously mentioned.

You may wish to go with something a bit larger though, like small and cheap disposable Tupperware-esque containers, as Marsha mentioned. Your mantids will appreciate the room, and it will be more practical when they start getting bigger.
