Does anyone have any suggestions where I can buy plastic milk crates?

[Kelly G]

I went on a hunt today for milk crates - the plastic kind - and I couldn't find them anywhere...not even ebay! I want to use these for my hens (that I don't have yet!) to use.

Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

Thanks, all!

Sometimes you can buy used ones from the dairies and Staples stationary stores have a similar storage unit. I think Sears has some that stack and I'm pretty sure Walmart has something similar in various colors. Or track down a college grad, they LIVE out of those things while in school!

Sometimes gas stations will have then in the trash behind the shop.

Got mine at flea markets mostly. Walmart has a cheapy version of them in their household storage items section.

People use them for files, so you can find them at Walmart and such, but they are a little smaller than an actual milk crate. I use them in my freezer so I can sort stuff better

The Wal-Mart kind have larger openings. I would look around at flea markets or put up an ad on Craigslist that you want some.

Ask for them on Freecycle.com -I got a bunch that way!

Target has them when the back to school stuff comes out.
