Cheap Cooler Showdown

In my VERY professional opinion, a cheap cooler + summer off = priceless

That's awesome!

A cheap cooler just means you have to drink them faster.

I'd go to a yard sale this Saturday morning and buy whatever I could for $5 or less. I'd spend the rest on beer!

Order something from Omaha Steaks. It all comes in a tight fitting Styrofoam cooler, no extra charge, with (reusable?) ice packs.

In my experience Igloo is junk, the hinges break plus they don't hold ice well.

The Coleman Xtreme hold ice far longer then their regular ones despite looking and weighing about the same

I have made a couple patio coolers out of old beat up ones with wonky lids.

(not one of mine, just the first picture I found)
