Marylander Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Just found this at Home Depot for $8.97. Says made in USA right on the bottom. If you're going to be outside at all this weekend you really ought to have one of these -- plus you'll save the stupid cost of bottled water and won't leave any plastic empties for the landfills. At $9 this is practically a no-brainer. (ironically, these kinds of jugs were the way we took water camping, boating and for other outside activities when I was a kid... Funny how things come full circle.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70'sChevyGirl Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Thats a great deal. We have 2 or 3 of those laying around the barn. We recycle so all my water bottles and everything else that can be reused gets recycled. Lets try and save the Earth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE Mook Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I may or may not have made a Large White Russian in one of those once. Good deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mc2hill Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 When I worked on the farm we put a frozen gallon water jug in those and filled them with water. Kept the cold water flowing all day. We recycle so all my water bottles and everything else that can be reused gets recycled. Lets try and save the Earth! Hey lady, welcome back again! If we don't use and recycle those water bottles, what are they gonna make my PolarTec stuff out of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nordgrey Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Yup, great coolers! When I worked under ground I would do pretty much the same thing as Michael with the small version I carried in my haul truck with me. The heat from the engine compartment vented right into the operators comp and it got horrid hot in there over an eight hour shift. That little rubbermaid was nearly bullet proof.

If it is going to the landfill or the sorting center to be recycled I got that covered!

Team Adam's Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 The more I see it seems the US has a large amount of plastics manufacturing jobs. Never seem to have an issue finding a plastic tote or similar things Made in the USA... wonder why that is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seem to have an issue finding a plastic tote or similar things Made in the USA... wonder why that is? I bet most of the totes can be assembled or manufactured by machines so the cost a labor is not huge in the production process. Just a thought though.
