Where to find your own mini Buc-ee’s bucket
Ready to get your hands on this budget-friendly treasure? Simply head to a Buc-ee’s location near you. Though the tiny find was first spotted at stores in late October and quickly sold out, stores are restocking shelves with a fresh wave of these popular pails.
When you stop by the store, you’ll likely find them on display near the other Buc-ee’s themed merchandise. A recent video shows a store employee bringing a box of the mini buckets to the section filled with souvenirs.
Each of the tiny containers only costs 98 cents, making it affordable to stock up on as many as you’d like!
If you don’t live near a Buc-ee’s or can’t find one at your local store, you can still buy one, as online retailers like TexasSnax.com offer them for $4.95.

Why everyone’s talking about this tiny treasure
Buc-ee’s fans are absolutely smitten with these mini marvels! When word first spread last month, demand skyrocketed as customers became eager to get their own. Some even joked that the affordable price would quickly be cancelled out if they started shopping.
“$0.98 will turn into $300 if I go in there,” quipped one person in response to a TikTok video.
Others loved the new mini bucket but weren’t impressed with the idea of using it as a cup. (The lack of lid was one of the most frequent complaints customers shareding!)
“Well, now I want one, but not for a drink,” said a commenter. “That’s not enough beverage.”
