I just got two cases of bottles (24 each) for $38 including shipping from Amazon: one of the few good homebrew deals there.

When I bottled, I was too lazy for that shit. I bought bombers, and those are definitely not cheap. Awesome you found a deal.
 
Hm. I can get cheap-ish (low quality, not low price) brown bottles for about $24 a case of 24 12s. I did not look carefully, perhaps I might find them a bit less costly somewhere. They come filled with beer, but they are not screw cap.
 
I have that Amazon deal saved on one of my lists in case I need to pull the trigger. As a bottler, it’s the best deal I can find. At one point, a few years ago, my LHBS was selling them for $12/case. Now, they’re $22.
 
Cheap bastard saved his empties and I got case of heavy 12 oz and a bunch of 32 oz swings on a craigslist deal where I was just buying a couple carboys and while chatting with the guy, he said he wasn't that great of a brewer and probably was not going to brew again and just pulled a pay-it-forward on me and gave me the whole lot with his blessings. He wouldn't take anything for it...so I left a case of IPA's on his porch and rang his doorbell.
About 6 months ago I put my excess on craigslist as a freebie. A gal who was getting married took 4 cases and used them for centerpieces.
Good karma....
Steve, are the ones you bought heavy duty or light weights?
