This 2 gallon orange Halloween bucket is a simple empty HDPE bucket that works well for trick or treat use, storage, garden tasks, and other small jobs. The size gets praise for being handy, with mentions of good thickness and a carry handle, and some stores have plenty in stock even when the website shows limited availability. The main caveat is that it is not food grade and does not include candy or batteries. A few reports also mention cracked bottoms after sitting for a while, so it is a practical pick if you want a cheap reusable bucket rather than a food container.

  • The empty 2-gallon bucket can work well as a reusable trick-or-treat and décor container.

  • The bucket can be delivered even when local store inventory is sold out.

  • In-store availability can be much higher than the website's limited stock message suggests.

  • The 2-gallon size can be useful for practical tasks like washing a car.

  • The bucket is not food-grade because of dye, so food should not contact it.

  • The bucket does not include candy, so pre-filled Halloween expectations may not match reality.

  • The bucket can crack and split at the bottom after sitting for a while.

  • Online pickup may be unavailable even when store inventory shows stock.

Doesn't come with candy but can only be used to store candy.

Click on the third picture on the store website, print it out, try to convince the local store that it was advertised like that and demand your candy with it for $2.88.

Just putting this out there, but Firehouse Subs sells their empty 5gal pickle buckets for around $4. Proceeds are supposed to go to local fire fighting support. Plus you get a bucket that smells like pickles, so win win.

Just a heads up these aren't food grade because of the dye so no food items should come in contact with the bucket itself. Wrapped candy should be fine though. Had to explain this to someone in my area why keeping pasta salad in a 5 gallon hd bucket is a bad idea.
