Buying a storage bin in Loreto

gallesram - 11-15-2016 at 11:25 AM

I have looked for storage bins in Loreto but to no avail. I'm looking for a Steri-Lite/Rubbermaid bin for storage (equal to the size of a medium ice chest). We have tried hardware stores, both of the large supermarkets (Pescador & Ley), etc; nothing. Before I buy one at Home Depot and check it on the Alaska flight this week I thought I'd ask to see if anyone knows where I can buy one locally.

buy an ice chest and use it for dry storage and wet

nothing of that quality/brand down here in Loreto. Bodega A(whatever) does have bins occasionally but how long they would last, who knows.

Either use an ice chest or look at COSTCO in the states. They have heavy duty bins with yellow lids that you can lock or zip-tie seal

Thanks for the input; I'm looking for something clear so I can see what's in it (thought about an ice chest too but doesn't work for being clear). I'm surprised they're so tough to find. Sounds like I'm going to check a few on the flight. We were told about Bodega A and went by there last trip but didn't see anything.

Walmart. City Club. Sam's in La Paz are possibilities if you want to drive that far for bins.
