What is the Petco Halloween bucket?
Home Depot’s viral Halloween bucket isn’t the only pail catching shoppers’ eyes this summer. Spooky season enthusiasts recently discovered that Petco is jumping on the trend this year, releasing its own variation of the popular containers.
These $7 buckets offer a spacious 2-gallon capacity, making them a perfect container for toting around Halloween candy on October 31. But that’s not all; each bucket has a lid so you can transform your festive pail into storage for craft supplies, decorations and more.
But the best part of the new pails is undoubtedly the design. Petco’s buckets come in two unique prints: a green Frankenstein face and an orange Jack-O’-Lantern. Both also include the Petco logo, which novelty bucket collectors will certainly appreciate.
Why shoppers are divided on the new Petco buckets
Social media has been buzzing about these new seasonal finds, but shoppers have mixed feelings about the newest addition to the wave of Halloween-themed buckets.
Many Facebook comments jokingly pointed out that it had been too long since a seasonal bucket came with a lid.
And some savvy shoppers are weighing whether the extra features are worth a few more dollars compared to other options.
“Not worth the cost when Home Depot will have theirs for $2.98,” remarked one shopper.
While many were still excited by the product drop, some pointed out a design that they would have liked to see from the pet-store chain.
“They missed a chance for a black cat,” one commenter replied.
How to buy the Petco Halloween buckets online
Many mini buckets and holiday pails are only available to purchase in stores, but the opposite is actually true for Petco’s products—these are online-only items! If you want to snag a bucket, you’ll need to pay for shipping, but you won’t have to go on a scavenger hunt at your local store to find them.
Shopping tip: The Frankenstein pail is currently out of stock, but you can still order the pumpkin design and have it shipped to your home. Prefer the monster pail? Select “Notify me when available” on the Petco site and provide your email address. Then you’ll get a message as soon as the bucket is up for grabs again!
The budget-friendly $1.50 Petco Halloween alternative
Looking for a too-cute container for trick-or-treating that’s budget-friendly? Petco has you covered! The retail chain is also selling two different buckets just for collecting candy, and they’re much cheaper at just $1.50 a piece. Even better: The candy buckets are available for in-store pick up in many locations.
But if you’re looking for a utility bucket that can be repurposed in multiple ways, it’s probably worth paying more for the 2-gallon option! Besides holding treats, this find could become a planter, a Halloween centerpiece or even seasonal storage for your pet’s favorite toys.
Whether you splurge on the 2-gallon showstopper or opt for the sweet $1.50 candy collector, both are sure to bring you plenty of joy this Halloween season.
