Argee RG503/10 Plastic Bucket (10 Pack), 3.5 gallon, White

I used these with my company logo to hand out to farmers! Guys really like them!

We use these buckets around the farm. We have purchased them several times. The only issue, as with any bucket the area where the handle goes into the plastic bucket wears out with time. We like the three-gallon size to use as water buckets for our sheep and lambs. They are a little shorter than a standard 5 gallon but use the same lid. reusable lids are important. We also use them to store all stock minerals. They also make a nice size for picking flowers and vegetables. The vender was very quick to process and ship the order. No issues!

I was specifically looking for these buckets. Years ago I bought them from Home Depot with much better prices. Unfortunately they are sold out on HD site so I bought from Amazon (more expensive!!) instead.PRO—1. 3.5 gallon — so I can pick it up when it is full of water. The typical 5 gallon buckets are just way too heavy for me (I am 5’3” 118 lb).2. Wide mouth, white — very handy size and shape.3. Food grade — perfect for my ponies and goats water buckets, and what not around the garden!CON —They are not as strong as typical Home Depot 5 gallon bucket. They do the work though. I had a few lasting quite a number of years under the sun. Eventually they crack, but considering how many years they lasted, it’s not bad.

We use these with the snap on lids to store dry food goods (i.e. sugar, flour, pasta, lentils/beans, etc.). We store the dry goods in food safe Mylar bags, drop in an oxygen eater, put them in the bucket and hammer on the lid. Then stack them on a wire shelf rack in our basement. We have purchased 20 of these now.

Wanted to do something different this year with the deck garden. The last couple of years, I’ve used the city planters. This year the thought was more of an individual planting system. The buckets are exactly what is needed. I planted tomatoes and peppers in the buckets and placed on a makeshift table. Of course, holes were drilled in the bottom for draining. Plants are doing exceptionally well. Will buy again.

Perfect for shorter cut flower harvesting. Holds a ton of flowers

These are the best value for money in their size that I've found anywhere, not just on Amazon.com. I was lucky enough to find them listed in Amazon Warehouse Deals, where customers had returned them for some reason, and I was able to buy them for a cost per bucket of just over $4. That's even better than their list price of $54.99, which works out to $5.49 apiece - and even the latter is still very low-cost.They're built as strongly as any other 3.5 or 5 gallon bucket I have, and accept a standard  Gamma Seal Lid - White . The manufacturer claims the plastic is food grade, although it's not marked as such. That doesn't bother me, because for food storage I use  10 Dry-Packs 5 Gallon Mylar Bags and 10-2000cc Oxy-Sorb Oxygen Absorbers for Dried Dehydrated and Long Term Food Storage  and seal them airtight, using oxygen absorbers or dry ice to preserve the food. That way, I don't have to worry about the plastic used in the bucket.

And yes there were TEN in the BIG box, free shipped (I'm not Prime), at my ft door just 3-4 days after mouse clicking buy via Amz. 45 bucks for 10. I thought a great deal. Now just a wk later they're 31! Damn. Oh well. Even at $4.50 per, a great buy. Sturdy, thick, thick wire handle looks pretty sturdy, very fine, glossy plastic finish (I got the white 3.5 gal ones), and again, 'made in the USA'. I actually wish I needed more! Thanks Argee and Amz!
