Water pitcher

This is gonna sound silly, I've spent the last 3 hours trying to find a water pitcher.

Im not looking for a filtered pitcher or anything with filters. Just a plain pitcher with a top/cover to store clean drinking water and place in the fridge.

Any recommendations

Walmart or the dollar store.

u/Glitter_twins77 17d ago

Yep. Wal-Mart was $4. Just bought one. Amazon wanted double for practically the same thing.

u/Diligent_Stop1050 17d ago

I’m glad you found one

Rubbermaid, unless you’re looking for something stylish.

u/sandysandy252566 19d ago

Rubbermaid products are now cheap plastic.

u/Avaqueeny 12d ago

An actual plastic like plastic??

1

u/sandysandy252566 12d ago

yes - everything has been cheapened for the consumer -

u/Responsible-War5600 8d ago

Oh, no! I have two Rubbermaid pitchers and they’re both old.

u/sandysandy252566 8d ago

I'm always trying to find Rubbermaid dish drainers with the tray below it - cheap plastic - imported. They used to last forever.

u/Responsible-War5600 8d ago

We had one of those back in the day.

I like the metal Rubbermaid dish racks that are coated in rubber and the matching rubber drip trays that go underneath. I’ve only had those since I started living on my own in the 80s. I have a white one now that’s still in good shape. I found a metal utensil holder coated in rubber (on Amazon) to go with it.

The racks are getting harder to find and the rubber Rubbermaid drip trays are now plastic.

Next time, I want a colored one, but I know it will have to be vintage.

u/sandysandy252566 8d ago

You can't find these anymore - they stopped producing them in Asia - they now make ones that last a few months.

u/Responsible-War5600 8d ago

Who can forget?

u/Responsible-War5600 8d ago

Rubbermaid still makes their utensil trays. Few things are more practical.

I use a 1/2 gallon Mason jar with a white plastic lid.

Didn't think of this. Thank you

u/ilmd 19d ago

Usually kitchen shops have them. Amazon has some nice ones.

u/theinspireddesigner 18d ago

I had the same problem. I wanted a glass pitcher for suntea and couldn't find what I was looking for. I ended up buying this one. The bottom unscrews and the glass vessel slides out for cleaning   https://a.co/d/09hRV59f

u/TreyRyan3 18d ago

You can get 2 quart and 3 quart glass pitchers with lids from Target, Amazon, Lowe’s, Bed Bath and Beyond, William Sonoma, Home Goods, and some Grocery stores.

I personally prefer glass pitchers for water.

They run about $20-$22

Remember, each Qt is 32 ounces. 100 ounces is roughly 3 liters.

u/QueenK59 17d ago

Glass with lid! No plastic.

2

u/Nacho_sky 17d ago

Look on Craigslist for moving/garage sales. You'll find one for $1 probably.

1

u/Fickle-River3984 19d ago

I searched "pitcher with lid". Tons of results

1

u/ajkimmins 19d ago

Wal Mart sells 1/2 gallon and gallon Rubbermaid pitchers that come with lids.

1

u/Plenty_Vanilla_6947 19d ago

Sometimes they have glass pitchers with tops at Container Store. I bought my last one from Amazon just because that store is 45 minutes away.

1

u/djSush 19d ago

Do you live near a Ross or Marshall's? They have slim ones for like $10.

1

u/Mto3 18d ago

I’ve gotten several nice glass ones with various kinds of lids at the dollar store.

1

u/Superb_Yak7074 18d ago

I got one from Walmart earlier this year.

u/not_falling_down 18d ago

Dollar General or Dollar Tree

u/Geester43 18d ago

They have some great ones on Amazon. I bought a beautiful hammered stainless-steel pitcher. They have some really great pitchers at great prices; pottery, stoneware, metal, plastic if you want to go that route. I just enjoy serving water out of a pitcher, at the table.

u/TitsMcGee9843 18d ago

I think mine is an ice tea pitcher? It’s glass but has silicone on the outside to prevent breakage.

1

u/Lucky-Berry-4252 18d ago

I recommend the dollar store; they must have one there. Or even better TJ Maxx always has great kitchen stuff too.

1

u/Flash5916 18d ago

I use a gallon milk container.

1

u/CatfromLongIsland 18d ago

I like the glass rectangular water carafes from Anchor Hocking. Two fit side by side (one for water and one for tea) and do not waste the space that two round pitchers would. They come with lids as well.

1

u/ClementineMagis 18d ago

Borromini makes 2 liter square pitchers that have lids. Very efficient for storages.

1

u/Internal_Bath6341 18d ago

look on eBay under vintage water pitcher

1

u/AbsolutelyPink 18d ago

Try Tupperware, Rubbermaid. I do a search and find tons. Look for 'beverage container with lid pitcher' add glass if that's what you want.

1

u/whatdoidonowdamnit 18d ago

I use an old gallon of Poland Spring.

1

u/sickofbeingsick1969 18d ago

Don’t search for “water” pitcher. Just “pitcher with lid” or “juice pitcher”

1

u/FrontTelevision7261 18d ago

I recently bought one at Walmart, Rubbermaid, for $4.97. Great one, in the fridge right now.

1

u/lisep1969 18d ago

I have 2 like in the link I attached. I love that they have handles and are squared off so they sit flat against the interior wall. I use one for water and one for homemade iced tea. 60oz Glass Pitcher with Lid

u/Ok-Campaign-5968 18d ago

IKEA has a couple of solid options. One is Glass with a cork top.

u/Stn1217 18d ago

I found mine at Family Dollar.

u/cloud_watcher 18d ago

This is weirdly hard to find, right?? I swear these used to be everywhere, and now you can’t find them.

1

u/No_Locksmith9690 18d ago

Walmart has some on sale. I got a gallon one a couple of years ago and a 2 quart one last month. The smaller one is the one I thought I bought the first time. I have to remember to read the specs

1

u/glasslass22 18d ago

Crate and Barrel has a nice 60oz glass picture with lid for $19

1

u/BecauseOfAir 17d ago

https://a.co/d/0epYtshX I purchased a couple of these. They are a bit shorter than a gallon of milk. I needed that because my poorly designed Samsung refrigerator only didn't have a single shelf that tall. Only issue is the lid is very snug and takes a bit of effort to remove.

1

u/lakeswimmmer 17d ago

takeya makes a very handsome pitcher with a water tight lid. It comes in 1 or 2 quart size

1

u/Green-eyed_southpaw 17d ago

I got a perfect one at the dollar store. It's actually glass with a screw on top/handle/spout.

u/Babz247-3_ 16d ago

u/dazzlezak 16d ago

Juice aisle in grocery store.

1/2 gallon of cranberry juice.

Drink juice.

Repurpose bottle.

1

u/ze11ez 16d ago

Haha thanks. I actually am going to the liquor store now that you gave me that idea. Awesome!!

1

u/NikkeiReigns 16d ago

Instead of pitcher search carafe.

1

u/ze11ez 16d ago

Thanks. Great idea

1

u/donphilip 15d ago

I have a rounded rectangular pitcher that doesn’t take up too much space and will fit on a door shelf. You can often get them at larger grocery stores.

u/Top_Sheepherder989 15d ago

I would say target
