Last weekend I happened to make a very timely and frugal discovery. My local Tractor Supply had 100 gallon Rubbermaid stock tanks (my through experience very much preferred water trough) on sale for 30% off. So, rather than being $100 each, they were the low, low price of $70 each!
Let me tell you, having been looking for a deal on used--but not leaky--water troughs for months and knowing that this exact tank sells used for $75-$90 (or more!) at auction within an hour drive of this little place here, I jumped on this bargain price for brand spanking new tanks!
Now that I have six pastures fenced, and had all ready drug one tank from the now empty pasture 2 into the now in use pasture 5, I had decided last week to invest in at least one more Rubbermaid 100 gallon tank. Dragging the dang thing, empty, from one pasture to another was a pain in the ass patootie that I didn't care to be repeating every few weeks during the grazing season.
When I discovered that TSC had them for just $70, there was no doubt in my mind that I was most definitely going to buy one. And when I shared this info with DH, he (enablingly) suggested I just go ahead and get three new ones so that each pasture has its own and I nevermore need to drag a tank from one pasture to another when horses move to new pastures. I mean, at 30% off, it was practically a Buy 2 Get 1 Free deal.
How could I not?
Loving my new tank-rich status.
