5 gallon Scepter cans - Lowes sale

Just an FYI - Lowes is selling the milspec 5 gallon Scepter water cans for 1/2 off right now. Looks like they are running the sale though 12/14 but I don't think their stock will last very long.

Thanks, went out and got my third one, I'm too cheap to pay full price, my other 2 were yard sale snags from people who didn't know what they had.

Thanks. Got one today. Price tag said $54, but when they rang it up, it came out at the sale price.

Thanks for the tip, I picked one up yesterday...
My local Lowes only had three left but I found that other locations had as many as 20 or 30 with one having over 100 so check around if your location is out...

Yeah, Happy Valley Rd was out. I had to go to the one on T-Bird and the I-17. Bought two. Seems the one off the 101 and Frank Lloyd Wright had 26.

Made by the same company, but that is NOT the same product. Much thinner and cheaper quality construction.

Thanks for the heads up. Picked up a few in Scottsdale while on run to an east valley meeting. I now have a good count of them. These clearly are superior to the light duty blue units shown and worth every cent.

and another 5% off if you have a lowes card. They have ion OD and Desert Tan. I prefer the blue ones for water but those of curse were out. Ordered 4 green ones. Thanks for the tip.
