Welcome!
This forum is for the kind of shopping question that doesn't have an active deal thread attached to it. For example, when you're between brands, weighing models, or trying to figure out what actually fits your space, budget, or family. Maybe you're shopping for a grill and want input on size, fuel type, and what's worth the upcharge. Maybe you're three tabs deep comparing robot vacuums and want a sanity check. Bring it here.
We often see great questions and answers in our deal threads, but that advice gets buried once the deal expires. Here it sticks around, stays searchable, and keeps helping the next person who's shopping for the same thing.
Unlike the Help Me Find a Deal forum, this is not where you come to find where to buy something now. It's more meant for the step before you know what you're buying and are still looking for help narrowing down your choices.
To get things started, we're publishing weekly Q&A series with Slickdeals Deal Editors and Deal Hunters — each one focused on a specific category (grills, TVs, smart home, vacuums, and more), covering how they hunt deals, what's worth waiting on, and what the they've learned from the community over the years. Read them, reply to them, ask follow-ups.

But it's still expensive when it's on sale. My budget is around $100, with a minimum capacity of 55 gallons, and easy operation. Therefore, my next best option is the trash can. Again, why not 10 gal or 20 gal and stack them on top of each other? Nope, composting requires soil, and soil is heavy; you can't lift a 10-gallon composter easily, let alone a 20-gallon one. The Costco one is made with metal and has an open bottom. If a similar product price is around $100, I would buy.

Alternatively, I saw this on Amazon for $135 https://www.amazon.com/Maygrove-O...B0G338V3V7 It's 53 gallon, not sure if that matters, or if you even want a tumbler. I'm also not familiar with the brand, so it's not an endorsement just an alternative close to your budget
