“I’m going to need more of those 69 cent small pots from Walmart to transplant these new seeds when they need it.”

I buy the clear plastic 9 oz. cups from Walmart for this purpose. Eighty of them for $2.50. I buy the clear ones so I can monitor the root growth of the seedling. I also bought a cheap basic soldering iron and use that to “punch” holes in the bottom. It literally takes a second for it to make a hole. Quick and easy!

The cups are a bit top-heavy when filled, so I put several of them in plastic shoe box-sized containers so I can move them around and water easily.

Oops, sorry. I was mistaken on the size I use. I get the 16 oz. clear cups, not 9 oz.
Here are my tomato starts:
