I think now the time to admit that I stayed in a Travelodge the night before a festival last year, and once we had finished the milk, decaf coffee, coffee, tea and sugar in the room I went to reception and asked for more. They gave me 2 more baskets full of the little sachets and I went straight up to our room and emptied them into a carrier bag. We were well catered for at the festival that year :)
Seem to remember accidentally gaining a few cafetiares from a service station . Well I did buy them , I think!! Well, that's my story. I take the disposable grinders , and have a few similar ones for the bbq - together with my spray extra virgin , that's the hard bit of cooking done !!

I've only just caught on to the milk thing. I now keep my trangia in the back of the car with some tea bags and coffee. Plus starting to do solo camping. A girl needs milk.
I've never thought about asking for more in a hotel
of course I can
For sauces - as well a obtaining some sachets from the cafe's. I use childrens paint/craft bottles. I found some in Wilkos (that are empty) and they are ideal for sauces whereby you don't need take the whole bottle with you! Came in a pack of 3 so we have ketchup, daddysor HP and either mayo or salad cream in the other.
IKEA are pretty good for sachets in the cafe, but I prefer the ground black pepper from McDonalds myself!!! Best selection of sauces without a doubt is from Wetherspoons though!!! Mayo and Vinegar most useful!! I have a small lock n lock box that I keep stocked up.
Schwartz do small salt & peppers with lids on - they're brilliant, you can get them at Tesco etc but I think the last time I got them they were near the spices and not where you would expect (near the condiments)!!!
BN do the grinder ones with loads of different stuff in them, salt, pepper, and mixed ones with dried garlic and chill, £1.49 for 2. and they last ages.
