I’m not sure who posted about the Home Depot buckets being food grade. I tried looking back through the comments, but couldn’t find it. Was it HDPE 2 that was the food grade plastic? I hope I got it right. I was at Lowes checking on some herbs and looked to see if they had any 5 gal. pails. They had some grey ones. With lids it cost $4.16. Tell me I got the right ones. If not, I can return them. I only bought 2 just in case. I had tried getting some from our store bakery, and they gave me a couple of pails, but no lids. It’s kind of hard to store stuff without the lids, but I have found other uses for those.

Yep...
HDPE 2 and you will see a triangle of arrows with a 2 in the center on the bottom of the pail. Same plastic they use for milk bottles.
I see DW already answered - he’s our kindly source of knowledge w/r growing and storing food here, isn’t he?
thanks for reminding me, marm. (if you don’t mind me calling you that!). I also intended to pick up some just to have and forgot all about it!
I am glad that Dela Where knew the answer, for I always forget which is the good one.
