Quote from AmusedPanther530 :
It's an even better deal when you stop by the food court and ask them to fill it up with nacho cheese.

Just only fill the top one.
nope, 5 gallon ice and diet coke

it's diet so you can drink as much as you want

Great lid option...only $13 for green. Makes the bucket great for storing water and air sensitive items. I use these to store brewing grains.

I was just at the Business Center, walked past them but didn't even look at the price tag, if I had seen it for 5 bucks would have picked them up.

Since no one else mentioned it, these are on the weekly sale list. https://www.costco.com/c/-/weekly...sider.html I was really hoping they would have lids, but this is pretty cheap for buckets so I'll probably bite on a pack.

If you're a Harbor Freight Inside Track Club member, hang on for one of the Free Bucket Weekends. Then every day of the sale (usually Fri-Sun) buy a carpenter's pencil or small blade cutter for under a buck after tax to get the free bucket on that trip. You'll end up with three 5-gallon buckets at about a buck each, plus whatever the required purchase things were.

They usually have bucket lids for 2 or 3 dollars if you need them. In fact the lid could be the required purchase.


If you are into container gardening, 5-gallon buckets work well and no lid needed.

I'd have ordered two sets if these were food grade. Too bad.

Quote from Sunday :
Never saw these in the warehouse. What area of a warehouse would one commonly find these in?
This is a Costco Business Center item.

30 day price adjustment. You don't even need to bring the receipt or item.
