Good deal on a "regular" cooler

I was in West Marine a few minutes ago and spotted this 4 day sale. It's probably as much cooler as most of us need. I like the handle.

    Need?  Seriously, you have been around this group to long to know "need" has an alternate meaning here. 
    They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. That's against their interests. - George Carlin

    I have a few of the Igloo Marine coolers, and have been on charter boats with the bigger versions.  The performance difference between the Marine models and other more normal coolers is very significant.  Off shore recreational fishermen are often out for several days in tropical heat, and need a cooler that can hold a temperature for that long, even with multiple openings and (hopefully) a lot of water temperature fish being put in.  The Igloo Marines are up to that challenge.

    A nice cooler for a nice price.  Easily worth a Benjamin, and above regular.  
    Have looked into upgrading my standard plastic hinges and latches to stainless, not cheap.  The handle, and wheels, are cool.  I have the ATC from Igloo, basically a marine 120qt with large wheels.  Has come in handy on the longer trips.  Really easy to move around on rugged terrain when loaded.

    Sam's had the 5day version of that same cooler for about $100,  and Costco had one for about 80. Is the extra day worth it?

    I have that cooler. If you have not bought it and want it, get it. I really like mine and it is awesome. The handle and wheels are much appreciated when camping in remote locations, and long term cold storage is very good. Keeps ice very well. Kept our food cold for 5 days, in mid 80s daytime temps. Likely gone longer if I managed it better.
