1$ each, at Dollar Tree stores.
I have no complaint with the funnel. I have several of all different shapes and all work better at different times.
$1 at Walmart for funnel https://www.walmart.com/ip/Hyper-Tough-Multi-Purpose-Automotive-Funnel-10701HT/349730787
Not really a deal
I've since bought a FloTool 20qt pan (the green one) for $8 and it's everything these pans aren't: sturdy enough not to buckle under the liquid's weight, and with a much better spout that doesn't seem to spill at all (at least I haven't managed it yet).

Also, these things suck. The best thing to do with one is cut out the bottom and stick it on top of one of these as a catch guard: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Hopkins-...lsrc=aw.ds
Seriously. If you drop the drain plug by accident, have fun fishing it out. Then there's the fact that these things are usually almost full by the time you drain a regular car, and you have to carefully drag it out and try not to spill it as you do. Spoiler alert: you stopped too soon and half a quart just sloshed on the floor. Now out comes the kitty litter. Yay! Sweep it for a glorious, dusty, oily mess!
Time to pour the oil into something you can bring to the store, "OH NO!" It's all over your hands and container, because it never pours out properly into the funnel! Oh god, it's everywhere! Another kitty litter cleanup!
Christ almighty, I feel bad for the people that still use these hellish containers. They're farking god awful, and a painful lesson of why cheaping out sucks, sometimes. Yes, even when you try using cardboard underneath to remove some of the messiness and splashing.
The linked one you can do a couple oil changes without a drop of oil on the floor, it will catch the bolt if you drop it, and you can rest the oil filter upside down on it to drain it. Then you just grab it, drop it in the car, drive to AutoZone, pour it out, and you're ready for the next couple oil changes.
Seriously, aside from the vacuum-type oil drainers that you use through the dipstick, it doesn't get much better.
