Grain bins?

[Shane]

Has anybody seen any large air tight containers big enough for a bag of grain lately? I would like to acquire a couple before we enact our grain buy.

Home goods has vittles vaults cheaper than the pet stores. Unsure if they are cheaper than Amazon. I'm too cheap and use 5 gallon buckets.

You can get a gamma seal lid for a 5 gallon bucket for ~$7 at home depot if you want to get really fancy. A 50-55 # bag of malt fits in two 5 gallon buckets.

I even have a few 5 gallon buckets with gasketed lids. You can only open and close them a 5 to 10 times before they shatter so I am going over to the gamma lids.

Also websites and forums for preppers have other ideas such as heat sealing 6 gallon bags with a clothing iron... people be weird.

I have some of those gasketed lids and they are a mother F*&er to open. I bought a tool fro Joe to help pry them off.

I have read of a lot of people buying from a place called US plastics. Maybe if we look into a bulk buy on at least the gamma lids since buckets are cheap through Home Depot that might get the cost down much less than $7/ea. I will look into it and report back. Chhh over!

Never mind, noting great there price you factor in shipping
$8.17/ea
Qty 8: 5% off; ($7.76)
Qty 16: 10% off; ($7.35)
Qty 48: 15% off; ($6.95)

Sam's Club has a 12 pack for $90 ($7.50/ea)

I've got a few of these: http://www.petsmart.com/dog/storage-sco ... %3Dfaceted

I got them for 1/2 off a little before Christmas, so I'm sure you can get them cheaper. I don't think they'll quite hold 50lbs of grain, but it's close.

These are what I use and I love them. Usually show up at Sam's club in the fall. Hold a sack of grain easy, seal nice and fit perfect under my brewing countertop.

Menards has the food safe buckets and the gamma seal lids also. Pretty much the same price as Home Depot.
