$17.97 for a 48 can cooler? I'm not sure since I've never bought one before but, I know all you would know if this was a good deal. I saw these at Sam's Club. Please let me know.

Thanks,

Laura

Yup! That's around the price we paid a couple of years ago at the local Costco. It'll definitely come in handy. Here's a tip, if you're flying. Empty, and dry out the cooler, the night before you leave, then pack all of your dirty clothes, fragile souvenirs, whatever, in the cooler. Zip it shut, lock the zipper with and electrical cable tie, wrap it with a luggage strap,(available at WalMart for a couple of bucks), and check it as luggage. We've done that on a couple of cruises and Disney trips. Have fun!

That sounds pretty good to me. I lucked out and found a 36-can one at Walgreen's for $9.99. After I bought it, I looked at several other places to compare and realized what a great deal I got.

I just picked up a collapsible cooloer at SAM's for $9.81. It holds 48 cans and looks like a duffle bag with area for dry goods. If you are not near a Sams try the web site they ma have it.
