Where did you buy your kitchen garbage can? *UPDATE*

I have an OXO step trash can that broke over the weekend and I need to replace it. I don't want to buy it again, since it only lasted a little over a year

everything I have seen in the stores I went to was either, WAY too expensive (I am NOT spending anywhere near $100 on a garbage can!) or too small. I like using the 13 gallon trash bags. anything smaller and I'd be taking out the trash everyday or 2x a day! Also, I don't want a white one since they get dirty.

so far I have been to B,B&B, Kmart, and Target. where did you get yours and if you can post a pic, I would appreciate it. TY!

UPDATE: SWEET! I just called OXO (they replied to my email and asked me to call them). They’re sending us a new garbage can for FREE!!!!!! So I won’t use the one I just bought at LNT and when we get the new one, I will return it.

YAY! It pays (literally) to complain!

bed bath and beyond, its a simple human trash can, but not a $100 one, I think it was around $50, and we used the 20% off coupon. It was definitely worth spending a little more money on IMO.
I don't have a pic though, sorry.

this could be the one I get... it's only 10 gallons, but cheap! $17 at LNT



I like the red one

We had a 13 gallon one at our apartment that I hated b/c it was out and since it was the two of us, it took forever for the garbage to get enough to take out and smelled. I now use it for my laundry area.

I bought a tiny garbage can - I think it's 8 gallons, or so from Walmart/Target that has a lid and we keep it under the sink in our kitchen. We have to take the garbage out every day, but we get to use the plastic bags from grocery stores as the garbage bag, so it saves us money from having to buy them.

I have something like this, but without the drawers on the right side...

We bought it at a craft fair.

I love it because it hides the garbage and doesn't look like a garbage can!

I think this is cute!

Re: Where did you buy your kitchen garbage can?

so I just bought the exact same OXO trash can that we had. I am such a dummy but it's the only reasonable priced one out there in the size that I need.

I sent OXO an email complaining about my old one, hopefully they will offer me some kind of credit/freebie/refund.
