These withstand sun and rain. They seem to be more economical option for outdoor storage than the large boxes at about $100 to $150.

Of course, after I bought 25 of them last week.

At least this is within the 30 day price adjustment period, so getting $1.50 x 25 back is a good chunk of change. Might end up buying more.

What does your storage and organization system look like with 25 containers? Just curious

I just stack them about 4 to 5 high off the floor, heavier stuff at the bottom. I'm moving so I have to put a lot of stuff in storage for a year or two (luckily family is offering me space to put it for free). Some of the stuff was already moved in cardboard boxes and the cardboard isn't holding up... so totes for long term storage it is.

I also either use my label maker to make labels for each one, or write on masking tape with a sharpie and stick it on the side. I'm trying to keep documents of what box everything is in so I know where it is when I go looking for it.

Btw, the Costco and Lowe's versions aren't compatible. The lids are different. We have Costco bins and I bought one at Lowe's and it won't stack perfectly with the others

Bugs me that I can get the 27g for less than the smaller size. I need some more of the smaller totes since my kids can't lift the larger ones when full.

Be sure to poke some holes in it prior to storing your children in them.

Same for Home Depot version and Costco versions... they are different dimensions so you can't stack then interchangeably with each other (not sure whether Lowe's and Home Depot are the same dimensions).

Personally I prefer the Costco ones primarily based on price... They come around on sale fairly often.

I just go with Costco due to price and returnability. Whenever these go on sale, I see people with orange carts stacked with these. Seems to be one of the most popular items when on sale, probably for good reason.

Agreed... These giant ones are great for things like holiday decorations, but you can't fill them all the way up with heavier stuff or they get too heavy. Would be great to see the smaller size of the black and yellow bins on sale... But I don't even see those at my Costco any more. Hopefully they return in the future and they've just temporarily stopped carrying them in order to have a larger stockpile of these big bins for this sale.

I can speak on the hdx vs Costco one as I have a mix of about 25 of them (15 hdx, 10 Costco)

Build quality there indistinguishable. Few small details

1. Costco one is slightly darker yellow
2. Even though there both 27 gallon the Costco one dimensions wise is a inch or two bigger
3. Costco ones come with a small label on them to allow you to write what's inside

One last and important thing, you can stack the hdx ones on top of the Costco ones but not the other way around

Overall because of this sale I go with the Costco ones. I wish they did come in bigger and smaller sizes like the hdx ones
