The Anchor Hocking 2-Cup Glass Measuring Cup just dropped to $3.97 at Walmart — down from $13.50, saving $9.53. Overall Pick badge. 1K+ bought yesterday. Free delivery today. Express delivery available in as soon as 14 minutes. Free 90-day returns.
At $3.97 this is the cheapest a brand-name glass measuring cup has been at any major retailer. Pyrex equivalent runs $8-12. OXO runs $12-15. Anchor Hocking at $3.97 is 71% off and the obvious buy.
Why Glass Over Plastic
Plastic measuring cups warp in the dishwasher, absorb odors over time, and the markings fade after repeated washing. Glass measuring cups last indefinitely. The Anchor Hocking 2-cup is microwave safe, dishwasher safe, freezer safe, and oven safe — you can measure, mix, microwave, and pour from the same vessel. The fired-on red markings will not scratch or wash off unlike painted markings on cheaper cups.
How It Compares
Pyrex is the direct glass competitor at $8.99 — more than twice the price for functionally identical performance. OXO at $12.99 is plastic. At $3.97 the Anchor Hocking is cheaper than any plastic alternative and the cheapest brand-name glass measuring cup available anywhere right now.
Imperial and Metric Markings
The cup has bright red markings in both imperial (cups, ounces) and metric (milliliters) units on the same side — useful for recipes from different regions without conversion math. The spout is designed for clean pouring without drips, and the handle is ergonomic for control with hot liquids from the microwave.
Gift and Multi-Pack Value
At $3.97 buying two or three makes sense — one for the kitchen, one for a college student, one as a gift. The Anchor Hocking 3-piece set (1-cup, 2-cup, 4-cup) runs $14.99 — if you want all three sizes, that is the better long-term buy. But for a standalone 2-cup glass measuring cup, $3.97 is the floor.
Verdict
This is a must-buy at $3.97. Overall Pick badge, 1K+ bought yesterday, fired-on markings that last forever, microwave and dishwasher safe glass construction from a brand that has been making kitchen glass since 1905. Pyrex costs more than twice as much for the same product. Buy one or buy three — at under $4 there is no reason not to.
