Lowes food grade buckets

[theck]

How do you find out contractor pricing?

My Lowes had that under the tag in yellow I think. I don't think it was $2 at my store though or I would have been more inclined to get more. I'll check next time though.

Yeah I've been using them since this summer for storing my grain I buy in large enough amounts that a small storage bin will not suffice.
They have lids, and all you have to do is ask an employee where they are.
However my first batch of buckets I just bought online. Shipping was pretty cheap as I recall. The lids are in the same location in the store.
The non food grade buckets you get at lowes or Home Depot I use to clean bottles, or equipment in.

And yeah if you want to have a secondary they would work great for that too, just drill a hole for your airlock in the lid.

Plain white buckets and lids at Walmart are Encore brand and food safe. I bought one to hold rice and another just in case...I hate going there. I keep going because Cafe Bustelo espresso is $3 a brick and we go through a brick a week.

Found the receipt:
Bucket: $2.97
Lid: $1.17
