    Default Food grade 5 gallon buckets

    I have a decent source for about a dozen or so here and there. Figured I would mention them in here for the prepper guys first. Would like to keep the quantities to each person limited to no more than 4. No lids, but with free buckets you can afford the gamma lids easier. Can usually meet up around 84th and federal or at sportsmans on 84th

    Nordys, walmart , safeway & Soopers all have food grade 3 & 5gal buckets. Most with covers, running anywhere from free to $1.00 per. They were used for confectionery topping at super markets. Places like nordy's, for the pickles.

    I got a bit buried between work and a last minute class. Will be out of town until next Wednesday, but after that I can meet up most days after 530 or mon-tues during the day.

    These are food grade because they had food products in them and are safe to store food in. If you aren't buying brand new, always be sure that you know what was in a bucket previously before putting food (or aquarium water) in them as some things can and do get into the plastic and leech back out into whatever is in them over time.
