I had been storing my Grolsch flip-top beer bottles in cardboard boxes. These boxes were falling apart and impossible to clean. I wanted a better storage solution, so I went on the hunt for milk crates. A 13" x 13" (outside dimensions) crate should hold 16 3-inch-diameter bottles.
The least expensive crates I found were at Tractor Supply Co. Buddeez Heavy Duty Milk Crates, Set of 2, cost $11.24. You can get your choice of a few different colors--I chose green and "tan camo" (brown) to match the colors of my bottles. They are advertised as stackable. My local store did not have any in stock, so I ordered them online and had them ship to store. Shipping to the store is free.
After Tennessee sales tax, my cost per crate was $6.17 each. Most online stores wanted almost as much for shipping as they did for the crates themselves. One local store wanted nearly $9 plus tax per crate and what few they had were all black. The other local stores I checked said they only carry milk crates during back-to-school season.
Other than customer, I have no relationship to Tractor Supply Co.
