The price of this item is for suckers. $7.95 + 8.20 (shipping) = $16.15
I walk into Lowes and My 5-gallon bucket that I paid $16.15 for is selling for $4.98. It proves there is a sucker born every minute and I was that sucker. AND GRIZZLY COURTESY OR AMAZON IS LOOKING FOR SUCKERS.

Great bucket yet if I had known they were no different than what I can buy locally I would have saved paying the freight. Gang these with the "grip" and it might be worth it to others but if not, my advice would be to spend the amount of shipping cost somewhere else and buy locally.

I bought my husband a Bucket Buddy several years ago not realizing I couldn't find the right size bucket. There just are no 3 gallon buckets to be found any more so the item just sits in the garage. When I saw that Amazon had the Bucket Boss(larger than the Bucket Buddy) and the bucket to match I was thrilled. Thank you Amazon for someone selling the 2 items together on the same page. What a novel idea.

After adding in the shipping I think you're better off doing one of two things.

Either go to some new house construction and ask for a bucket
or
buy a bucket of sheetrock primer, use it, clean it and you have a bucket.

The shipping costs double the cost of the bucket. If you purchase one from Home Depot, well never mind, just look for a used one.

This gets 3 stars because you can almost buy some primer, thinset or any number of other items for a little more cash outlay ... and you get to keep the bucket.

Last month a "special" deal was available. Buy a bucket organizer and get the bucket for free. This purchase took place at the beginning of December 05. I was received the bucket organizer a month ago. I was informed that the bucket was back-ordered approx. 1 week. Just the other day I was told that the bucket is back-ordered 3-4 months, yet the site claims that it will be shipped in a couple of business days. What's up with that? If you pay for the bucket, you get it quicker? If it's free, you need to wait till March or April?
