Gimme, I've used these exact same little cups. I think I buy an 80 pack or something like that, for about $1.94 at Walmart, and it takes less than 5 minutes to drill out all 80 of them - Small bit, cordless drill, stack 5 at a time and voila!

They're the perfect size for the Jiffy-7 peat pellets, but I found that I actually preferred just using my own soil-less mix with them.

Either way, the cups are very convenient, unless you're working a LARGE scale, in which case I would wager it could get time consuming moving around hundreds at a time.
