Free Food Grade buckets from Food Lion

[Acre of Blessings]

I picked these up at Food Lion yesterday. I have been trying to get some and now I have. I got 3--5 gal. buckets and 4--2 gal. buckets. They came without lids but the dali manager is gonna save me some lids.

I am going to use them to store Flour, Sugar, Cocoa & Tea bags. My daughters said that they will look plain, so we decided to decorate them.

They went from this...............

To this..................

Each one is labeled and decorated differently. I used Rub-Ons that my kids got me. They turned out to be really cute. Hope this idea helps someone.

The 5 gal. buckets are going to be decorated and will hold taters and onions. Gotta find some veggie Rub-ons.

Call your local grocery store and ask to speak to the deli/bakery manager. They get their cake icing in these buckets all the time. If they don't have any check with another. I called first since gas is still high.
