Cheap 150 qt coolers at Walmart
$80 for a 42" long cooler at selected Wal-marts. Probably 1/3 the price of West Marine.

A while back, I needed a cooler on short notice and bought one(smaller than above) from Walmart, without looking at it real close. Ok so that was dumb; I was in a hurry. Anyway it was an Igloo, can't be too sorry. But wait, its from Walmart. Guess what? the top had no, as in zero, insulation, collapses when you sit on it. The plastic sides are so thin that it wants to collapse when you put any weight in it. Keeps ice a little better than a cardboard box, but not much. Total and complete crap.

I bought a 142 qt. Igloo cooler from Walmart about 7 years ago, on clearance for only $35. I ordered the cushion for it from BassPro for $55. The cushion lasted less than 3 years, the cooler is in great condition, and has held my 200 lbs, and my friend's 320 lbs at the same time on several occassions. Go figure.

What discount houses do is suck suppliers in with promise of big volume. Once they gear up production and get hooked on the volume, Walmart starts cutting what they will pay, and cutting, and cutting. Pretty soon the supplier can't make a decent product for what Walmart pays, but still needs the volume, so they cut quality. Hence my Igloo and Blue Heron's. Maybe Fr Frank got one of the better quality ones.

Igloo
But I didn't find mine THAT flimsy. Not great, but the first thing I did was sit on it. Probably a 190lb person. I had to search a bit to find one. I was going to glass a custom one up, but or $80, I couldn't resist. Quote:
