If I had a penny for every time I saw someone post to the internet about buying buckets off of Costco today, I'd have two pennies.

"Gonna collect some rain water and organic matter"

We all do, Holmes. What are the buckets for?

I accidentally started a pottery hobby. It began with digging out some garden beds then one thing led to another and now I need a bunch of water to let the natural clay separate from the debris

Fun!

How much do they cost? I usually pay about $4-5 per bucket. Unless it’s food safe they cost a bit more.

Are they food safe? (The only food safe ones I found so far are at tractor supply or Amazon)

I don’t know about Costco buckets but I usually stop at a pub and get a bucket from them if I need a food safe one.

Lots of their kitchen stuff comes in them.

Oh nice, I need to try that. I need so many buckets.

miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 9 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Any mid-size commercial kitchen has buckets. Plus ice cream parlours.

Retro_unlimited@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 1y

Wow thank you! There is a few ice cream parlors in town.

Oh nice! They were $10 for 3. I wasn't sure if that was actually a good deal. They say "Certified by NSF to Standard #2"

Retro_unlimited@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 1y

That’s a good price! Congrats on the find.

I bought some food safe ones from Lowe's last week. They were 1 gallon size. Didn't even realize they were food safe until I got them home.

Retro_unlimited@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y

Oh wow I didn’t know those were food safe, I have one of them.

3 pack for $10 bucks when I saw it 2 days ago.

Retro_unlimited@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 1y

Wow that’s a really good price!

homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 1y

Everyone needs a good bucket. Or three.

Today I learned Mother's Day is apparently the best time to go to Costco and it not be overwhelmingly crowded

bricklove@midwest.social · 5 pts · 1y

OH YEAH, I even had time to call my mother, brother!

Your stores are open on Sundays?

hefty4871@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Where do you live that your store isn't open on Sundays?

varyingExpertise@feddit.org · 4 pts · 1y

Germany. Gas stations and restaurants are open, everything else isn't.

LesserAbe@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

Yes, for the most part. Only stores that are more publicly associated with Christianity (just Chick-Fil-A comes to mind) are closed on Sunday.

I saw these for the first time less than a week ago. I would love to have a Costco-branded bucket but I absolutely do not need 3 buckets. I don't even really need 1 bucket right now. Someday though...

bricklove@midwest.social · 3 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Keep your eye out for buckets. The first one I acquired must have fallen out of a pickup that turned too quickly. I was super self-conscious when I pulled over to pick it up

"How likely are the people seeing me doing this to meet me again in life" has helped me tremendously in the guilt free acquisition of free range items.

Sanguine@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 5 pts · 1y

Also bought some of these today

Do they have lids? Lowes charges $4 for the bucket plus $3 for the lid.

Hey, a stack of buckets is a cheap way to have a very versatile set of tools or parts for a home

Lucien@mander.xyz · 4 pts · 1y (3 replies)

How does the price compare to the Home Depot or Lowe's buckets?

bricklove@midwest.social · 3 pts · 1y (2 replies)

It was $10 for a 3 pack. Something tells me this is actually a shit price but I can't imagine needing more than this.

CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 11 pts · 1y

Last time I bought a bucket at Home Depot it was $5 or so.

$10 / 3 is a good price.

Lucien@mander.xyz · 4 pts · 1y

Yeah, I think they're like $4 or so for a single at Home Depot or Lowe's

ikidd@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

And here I am, with stacks of buckets I try to get rid of every year. I probably have 200 of them out behind the shop right now.
