I paid full price, about $12 for the blue and black crate at Sam's club. The crate is collapsible, so you can store it in your trunk without it taking too much space. It's really useful to bring things like groceries from your car to house in one trip. The blue and black one is sturdy. You can flip it upside-down to use as a table if you wanted or keep it collapsed to use as a lap table. Works well as a laundry basket too. I wouldn't get the green and black one with holes. It's a good size, but feels flimsy.

I search on Sam's site since I don't have a Costco account. There are two models. This one for &10.99 and smaller $7.99 version that looks to be less heavy duty.
Picked up both a green and blue at Costco a couple months ago before mfr rebate. Both are the same, solid sides without holes, 12 gallons/46 liters by Instacrate
Costco has carried 2 brands of these 'Insta Crates' and 'Clever Crates' since I noticed them in the warehouse.
They had the Clever Crates initially but they were more expensive (been a while ?$12.99?)
I picked up 2 back then (blue/black and green/black), this seems to be the product that Amazon.com stocks.
Saw them again but they were $7.99 and I bought a few more, then noticed they were Insta Crates instead of Clever Crates. The only noticeable difference I see is that the newer Insta Crates have slits along the inside edge which look like they are capable of holding hanging file folders.
They come in handy so I'll probably pick up a few more next time I hit Costco if they are still on coupon.
Well crud. Went to my Costco and they were out of stock. The employee said they're having a hard time getting more, and they've been out of stock for a couple months now. They did find some in stock on the other side of town, but saving $6 and spending $10 in gas would kind of defeat the purpose.
