Default Free buckets

OK....now that I have all the buckets I need (well, for now anyway ), I can tell my "secret".
Free buckets at Walmart. 5 gallon and 2.5 gallon (I think).
This is only at Super Walmarts.
Go to the bakery, and, nicely, ask them for any empty glaze buckets they have. They get baking glaze in these buckets and will give the empties to you if you ask nicely. They give them to you with the covers too.
The 5 gallon buckets are perfect for the Grit Guard, it stays on the bottom.
You'll have to clean the remaining glaze from the buckets even if they "clean" them first before giving it to you.
