Buckets are like $4 now. ITC members can go buy something for $1 and get a free bucket.

Inside Track Club

It's Harbor Freight's "exclusive" paid membership "club" to get free stuff and steeper discounts than the common window shopper. It's been a way for them to monetize the things we used to take for granted pre-pandemic (like 20% off coupons, free flashlights and screwdrivers, etc.). Enshittification at it's finest.

I know the economy is rough when I'm looking for a deal on a bucket, which cost a buck or two not too long ago.

Obviously you can buy a snap knife for $.79 or whatever they cost now, but the $2.99 bucket lid actually turns this into a 5 gallon sealed container which is not bad.
