What is it with Chinese Supermarkets around your way? They are the oddest's thing! I've bought everything from jump leads to butt plugs (Yes I bought them at the same time, no they weren't related, yes I can explain if pushed). If you want it they've got it!

On a separate note i've paid anything from £2 to £14 for a 'gorilla' buckets. Some are indestructible, others have lasted less than a paper bag.

Depending on where you go of course, I find the £7-9 bracket is the sweet spot with value for money (i.e. price verses longevity). The more 'bouncy' the bucket, the longer it lasts I find.

They are a bit strange and the quality ( not sure I should be using that word in relation to these shops!!) can be dubious to say the least but for buckets, sponges and single use stuff they're great.

I think you better explain that now you've made it public!!
