Apr. 25, 2008 - Score!!! Big Buckets w/ lids
I asked at 2 different grocery stores, at costco, at DQ, at another icecream place.... I began to dispair....
Today I went back around and costco had saved me some...... LARGE BUCKETS WITH AIR TIGHT LIDS!!!!! Yay!
DQ also gave me some.... they asked for a donation to the children's miracle network.... no prob!
All the places i went to said they just throw them away... what a waste... what a consumeristic throw away society we live in.
the small local icecream guy was from India so i think he was surprised that someone here in north america was going to save and reuse something so useful and taken for granted.....and was so happy that I would use them and will now save them for me to pick up on thursdays. for some reason in our town we can't recycle those type of buckets so he was just having to throw them out.... there's only so many you can keep! Anyway he was very happy to save them for me.
There are some really great nice people out there if you give them a chance!
