    bucket list

    I would like to be on the list as well, I will pay a buck a piece if they have a lid, great for burying ammo, or most anything

    Use your imagination. They are good for sssoooo much stuff. While we don't use the same type you have we do have cats and that means CAT LITTER BUCKETS. We have a couple dozen cat litter buckets around here filled with all sorts of stuff.
    My lady keeps her yarn and knitting/crochet items in some. We put photos and other documents on others. The lids lock down tight and protect what's inside.
    When we evaced during Gustav we even put our change of clothes in a few and they went into the trunk of the car.
    Someone mentined hanging gardens. They are great for container gardens out on the deck or porch.
    I had a few posts I had to set in concrete while doing a yard project. I mixed the concrete in one of the 5 gallon cat litter buckets.
    I have one near my ham radio/scanner desk which holds a buch of little parts and peices I don't often use but don't want to throw away. I've even used one to carry my gear when going out with my ham radio club to to public service at charity events. Just put the coax and other stuff in the bucket, put the lid on and put it in the car. I have one bucket just for my Amateur Television (hamtv) stuff.
    I have one as a wastebasket next to my bed and one in each bathroom too. I also have one in the utility room near the washer and drier as a wastebasket for drier lint, used fabric sheets and even empty Tide bottles.
    When we get a bag of cat food home from the store we pour it into a pair of litter buckets near where we feed the cats. The food says fresher because the lids are tight and it keeps air out. Bugs too. Roaches like to get into the cat food bags if you leave them open and partially full. The buckets prevent that. I HATE going to feed the pets and having a huge black roach come up out of the bag and run up my arm. :eek3::eek3:
    So many uses for cat litter buckets or cake icing buckets.
