I like buying them at Uhaul because you can return the ones you don't end up using (in case you buy too many)

Home Depot for a while had fairly cheap decently sized totes at about $6 a pop | Go to US HD. The one in Bellingham is usually well-stocked.
Large one for under U$2 and even the XL is just above $2 IIRC. And yes, they are fully refundable if you didn't use them.
While on topic of boxes at HD, the heavy-duty box from HD is amazing if you are bringing shits for F&F when traveling. I got one to bring stuff last time to China, and it arrived pretty much without a scratch. It's less than U$5 and weights nothing comparing to your regular luggage!

Model number CV-DCC40. The real thing, no knock off. Locally, of course. I know it was in this thread somewhere. Lowest price, of course. | I've got the same model.
Local distributer is in Richmond on No 5 Rd, between River Road and Vulcan Way. They carry all the models.
It's a small storefront, easy to miss. I don't know the unit number.

I'm wondering if someone can recommend me a good rice cooker for under $100? I don't eat rice all that often so I guess a 8 cup would be more then big enough. My white ass has no clue about rice cookers lol

We've been using a Panasonic for the last couple of years, as have my in-laws. No complaints. BTW, 5 cups = uncooked. BestBuy.ca - Computers, Televisions, Video Games & Cameras - Best Buy Canada - Best Buy Canada

A good one now should be IH (induction heating) and pressurized. They are so good that they cook brown/multigrain rice to have a close texture to white rice.
The reason to spend big bucks is that newer rice cookers by major brands like Zoji/Tiger/Panasonic last an eternity.
I bought my top of line Zoji back in 2009 (drag it as carry-on from Japan. And yes, if you happen to be going to Japan, get it there as it's both cheaper and at least 1-2 gen newer than models found here) is still working like the first day. Other than buying a better aftermarket inner pot, the unit has 0 problems and I expect it to last another 10yr or so at least.
When you calculate its cost over a service life of 10~15yrs, the price difference between a crappy one (if it actually last you that long) and a good one is marginal at most.

At the $100 range any fuzzy logic Tiger or Panasonic on sale will suffice. Rice cookers tend to last a while so I would consider choosing one where you can find replacement inner pots since those are the first to go so it's nice to keep a spare pot around.
Also, it's better to use a rice cooker near maximum capacity than for example, cook 1 cup of rice in a 10 cup cooker.

Maybe they are a legit wholesaler and thought I was like spying on them to see if they sell to people off the street.  .png "Y U NO...?") sell to joe schmoe off street?

Re: rice cookers. My pot has held up pretty well over the last couple of years. We cook 3-4 cups at a time and only clean it with the soft side if the dish sponge. Only other things that touch it, are the plastic spoon and when someone drops metal utensils in there when it's in the sink.
We also usually make enough to either pack lunch the next day or to make fried rice. And on that note, always use 1-2 day old refrigerated rice, broken up, to make fried rice. Cheap/convenient to have as a standby for a quick meal the next day or 2. Rice, garlic, egg, peas and a protein and some seasoning, plus a hot wok and you have a 10 minute meal.
