Mr. Wonderful sent me on an errand today to find a bucket for our primary fermenter. The ones at the LHBS cost around $25 or so. I live in the Salt Lake City valley, where there are lots of home food storage stores. Do you think I could find a bucket bigger than 6 gallons?!? Noooooooo! (Did you sense the incredulous sarcasm in that 'no'?) I have checked our local classifieds numerous times looking for a used bucket, to no avail. So our options were to buy from the LHBS or find something similar. I have checked Home Depot, IFA, Industrial Container Supply, etc. with no luck.
After driving back and forth across the valley at least 3 times, I finally found a 10 gal. garbage bucket at a local restaurant supply company. It is food grade quality, and I got the bucket and lid for about $20 after tax. Needless to say, I probably spent more on gas driving around today than I saved on the bucket, but godblessit I got me a primary fermenter!
Next time Mr. Wonderful can go straight to........the LHBS and spend the dadgummed money!!
