Community Reviews

These 5 gallon buckets are mainly appealing as a cheap clearance utility bucket, with some orders going through at $2.50 and free next day delivery. They are plain enough to be less of an eyesore indoors, and the black Leaktite lid fits them perfectly. The buckets do not include lids, and some stores still scan them at $4.98 or cancel orders instead of honoring the clearance. Availability also appears location dependent, so the deal is best treated as a local closeout.

  • The buckets can be ordered at the $2.50 clearance price with free next-day delivery.

  • The black Leaktite lid fits the bucket perfectly for covered storage.

    Chop468

  • The buckets can work as yard replacements when other buckets come apart after touching.

    AmusedPartner833

  • The buckets may be less of an eyesore in the home than alternative options.

    UTjunkie

  • The buckets do not include lids, which requires buying compatible lids separately.

    SUCHaDEALkarrun

  • Home Depot canceled an order for two buckets without providing a reason.

    O_Deals_O

  • In-store scanning showed a higher $4.98 price and customer service refused to adjust it.

    Chop468

  • The buckets reportedly are not made in America and may not be certified food-grade.

Why are these so much more expensive than their other 5 gallon buckets to begin with? It's almost like they were trying to gouge you...

Still $8.95 by me.

The 8.95 price is why they are overstock with them and now charging 2.50$. They will soon be free with a purchase of x-dollars so they can just get rid of them. At least the regular orange buckets stand out for easier locating among the piles of impulse buys that now has become space congestion.
