I have to laugh at this. I probably have 35-40 five gallon buckets and I have never bought a single bucket. I also have kitty litter buckets, 1 gallon, 2 gallon, 3 gallon, and square mayonnaise buckets. You name the bucket and I have one. I always have a need for one. I shake my head when I walk by a stack of buckets in a store that they are trying to sell. I still haven't found a $40 Yeti bucket though.
