Food buckets - Melissa15 - 12 February 2012

I'm looking for buckets, probably 10L so I can store them and move them easily since I have limited space. I've found this site: http://www.ampulla.co.uk and the 10L buckets are around £3 with an almost £10 delivery charge. Seems a bit much? Or is this what I should expect? Where do you get yours?

Sorry if theres a post on this already, please direct me to it if there is.

Hi Melissa,

Welcome to the site.

I've raised this question a couple of times. Most places seem to be happy for you to collect them, which is always good.

Hope these links help

If its only 10 litre containers you are looking for look in places like tesco morrisons etc fraction of the price and no p&p.

Melissa, Try your local bakery for free-bees. I have a number of very useful containers now, and catering establishments have some as well. Kenneth Eames.

This is one thing I haven't got round to yet is proper long term storage, I need the buckets, mylar bags and oxygen absorbers.


RE: Food buckets - uks - 14 February 2012

Try these for mylar bags

I've found some cheaper ones at http://www.tools4grp.com/Catalog/Product/23 they sell the lids separately but it's still cheaper. I'll be getting them soon if I can't get any in a supermarkets or bakery.

good find, i usually get mine free from a bakery, but this is good as a back up supply.
