Randy in Maine wrote to mention that his local Home Depot store is now selling Gamma Seal bucket lids (in black only) for $6.47 each. Please note that all Gamma Seal lids are certified food grade, but that many of the orange HDPE plastic five gallon buckets that are sold at Home Depot stores are not. Check the markings on buckets before you buy. And for any buckets or lids that you own that are not food grade or for any that you are uncertain, relegate them to storing only non-food items.
