I have asked this question before, with a similar photo, but I ask again, is this cheap or just frugal.

Yes, I did buy a special implement, to make sure the transfers went well, but is it frugal? It works very nicely for HP Sauce bottles as well. When I start mixing the cereal (i.e. putting “the bottom” of a box of old cereal into a newer box), then I will know I have become my mother.
Frugal. …But more on top of that. I wash the finished bottles in the sink with other dishes after dinner and if the ketchup/mustard/brown sauce/etc., bottles aren’t almost entirely empty it makes a helluva mess in the water and on the other dishes. It’s better to let the excess drain out (and save it) before washing.
