Storing Water
My sister gave me this great product that she found at Emergency Essentials. Below is a link to the product:
Basic 25 Gallon Boxed Water Kit
The reasons I like this product is because:
- Costs between $5-7 to store 5 gallons of water. Online they are 34.95 plus shipping, in stores they are $30.
- You can empty the water, and then fold down the boxes if you were moving. Water containers often take up too much space, and they are the first thing to be donated or given away with a move.
- If there were an emergency, they have two purposes 1) Drinking water, 2) Sanitation.
- You can stack the boxes. That is a huge plus if you are short on space.

I TOTALLY want to get a bunch of those. I’m getting tired of my plastic jugs taking up so much floor space. Also, I heard that in the mylar bags you don’t have to rotate as often. That’s a bonus!
FYI: you can also buy 6 gallons of water in a heavy box from Sam’s in South Jordan for $4 and change. It may not be movable if you a planning on moving but it is a lot cheaper! There are 6 gallons per box and the boxes say that they can be stack up to 5 high so that is 30 gallons of stackable water. It helped me to finally get my two weeks worth for my family.
“Costs between $5-7 to store 5 gallons of water. Online they are 34.95 plus shipping, in stores they are $30.”
I am confused how you got these for $5-7 when online they are so much. What am I missing?
The kits include 5 boxes, each can store 5 gallons of water. Hope that helps!
I have used these.. but I don’t like them if they have to be stacked on top of each other. The weight of the water naturally wants to push down causing the boxes to slowly loose their shape and flatten.
