If you need food grade plastic buckets go to you're nearby bakery or donut shop and ask. We're maple syruping for the first time. This is where we're getting storage buckets.

We sometimes get them from the Bakery at our Wal-Mart. Unfortunately they do charge about $1.50 per bucket with lid, but it is still cheaper than buying new :)

You will have to let us know how the Maple Syruping goes Lorena. I can only imagine how wonderful it must smell :)

Sometimes the bakery sections in the large food chain stores will give them to you too if you ask for them...they just throw them away.
