How do you store your soap if you don't buy it with the accompanying bowl?

So, I would like to purchase some soaps, but I'm not quite sure the best way to store soaps if you don't buy the bowl with it. It could really add up if one only bought soaps with bowls. So whats the best way to store multiple pucks of soap without the bowl. Thanks.

P.S Hope this wasn't a stupid question
 
u have so many options.
I personally purchase the 3 pack tupperware containers that come with lids and keep them in there. if it gets too moist I just leave the top off to fry out until I get back home. works well. also coffee cups (mash or grate the soaps in there).
also many online shops sell soap containers, be sure to take note of the height and radius versus the soaps u buy.
and lastly a trip to target or walmart's bathroom and kitchen section will yield many cheap options.
 
the small ones. these are the rubbermaid twisties:

I only have one puck of soap in use at any one time. Other new pucks sit in their retail packaging until called upon to do duty on the countertop.
 
I went to Goodwill and picked up some mugs/bowls/whatevers and then grated the soaps into them. If space is at a premium, any of the above solutions will work.
 
I have a couple in 1-cup glass Pyrex bowls I got at the supermarket. I can stack the Pyrex without them sliding off each other like the wooden bowls.
 
Here's a few previous discussions that might help.

I got moves like Jagger
Soaps generally go into either my Old Spice mug, my Benton Clay shaving cup, or an empty Mama Bear's container.
 
I use 4 Anchor hockers with the regular plastic lids and 4 Pyrex with the sealed blue lid. All except the last Pyrex has samples in them. The last one has a puck of MWF which fits perfect in it.
 
I use the most excellent empty travel tubs from Mama Bear's. My OCD demands uniformity as well as neatness. Also, I use Avery CD Label peel and stick labels on the lids. The part of the label that usually isn't needed (the donut hole if you will) is perfect for identifying what puck is in there. I use an attractive font whose name escapes me right now. The only exception I have made is I simply couldn't bring myself to scoop the MdC from its heavyweight jar into the Mama Bear jar. I just couldn't.

These Stainless Steel bowls (with a tight fitting lid) may be the best ones I've seen.

I've also purchased several empty Yardley wooden bowls and refinished them. I also banish many soaps to the shower if I'm not thrilled with them. This has freed up quite a few wooden bowls.

The Pyrex containers also work very well.
