Where to find economical monotubs
    #19221161 - 12/03/13 09:05 AM (10 years, 1 month ago)

Sorry if this answer could be found through search, but I just spent the past few hours searching Amazon/Ebay/Walmart.com for 18gal tubs. The cheapest I can find are these 66Quart:

http://www.amazon.com/Sterilite-66-Quart-See-Through-Storage-Latching/dp/B001RCUND4/ref=sr_1_2?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1386084698&sr=1-2&keywords=18+gallon+tote

The information I have found says you can find them at Walmart and other stores such as Big Lots for 3-10$. The above link would be about 13$ per, but generally everything else I find that is clear are well over 20$ a piece. So my question is this:

Will the above link (has non clear top) be okay? If not can anyone find any none outrageously priced close to 18gal on Amazon.com?

Wow thanks for the quick reply and great deal. Looks like those tops are not clear though? I just rechecked Amazon to make sure I didn't miss anything and because I added the above item to my shopping cart it suggested these which I like and have clear tops:

Stack them and light through the sides, that's what I do. For $5 a piece its a no-brainer.

Oh really, I was under the impression that direct light from above would be better then from the side.

It doesn't really matter as long as they get light. You could always cut the middle out of the lid and replace with plastic wrap if you feel you have to have top lighting.

I ordered them online.  I was excited.
Then they called me 25 min later saying they were cancelling my order 'cause they were out of them. 

Their inventory system sucks. :thumbdown:

I guess I will have to check back with them every few days for the next couple of weeks.  They said the sale runs thru Christmas.

I ordered 10 from the 2nd closet store (first was out of stock), as you said 25 minutes later I get a call they are cancelling. I order another 10 from 3rd closet store and within 15 minutes I got a second cancel call.

I agree with this. I've done both and it ain't all that big a thang. Especially if you have a couple lights, I wouldn't bother with the lid window. Though it can be kind of nice when condensation prevents you from getting a good look through the sides.

I fessed up because I figured that I wanted a clear tub with a cleat lid. Big Lots has them (66Qt.) for $9.99 all the time. Buy once and done. Don't look back.

Home Depot has the 18 gallon roughneck tubs for $8.50. You do have to customize lid a bit because try are not see through at all. But very sturdy tubs. If your not stacking them they work great
