held everything i had in fridge for 2 to 3 days. note: i know this is a super simple instructable but i thought it was worth posting since these bucket ice-chests are great and super cheap. about 5 bucks for everything. if you can't find liner at home depot (they are often out or say it's an online item only) try walmart, amazon, or a paint store like sherwin williams.
