I have 30 oz, 20 oz, and coozie from Walmart, they seem like they are made in the same factory as the Yetis when compared side by side.
Even the lids are interchangeable with the Yetis. Use the Walmart app to check which store near you has them (search Ozart Trail Tumbler), they go fast!

Walmart also has a Yeti Cooler knock off, also under the Ozark Trail brand, the 75 quart is $194. Don't know how they perform but I bet they are comparable.

Same subject, different issue: My wife, kids, friends think I'm nuts BUT, I have this thing about white coolers on a boat. It HAS TO BE WHITE. If someone shows up with a colored cooler and a day on my boat, I empty it into one of my white coolers. I know, WTH?
All my coolers are white Igloo. They keep ice perfectly for just as long as I need them to. I don't go for days at a time excursions

Consider this too...
When using the cooler as a fish cooler, the benefit of a Yeti (keeps ice longer) is a moot point. As fish are added to the cooler, the body temperature of the fish melts the ice. We use the standard everyday white marine coolers and they perform just fine. Another point to consider is the weight of the Yeti coolers. They weigh a ton when empty. Add ice and fish and you can hardly move them. But, I do love my Yeti Tumblers!!

Used to do that, now I just cut a 3 inch piece off an old leather belt and run the old stainless screws from the hinge through it. Never had to replace one ever again.

Bradford I like piano hinge. Once and done. That is until somebody steals it...
I went and bought the entry level Yeti cooler. The one with the handle. Man is it heavy. I am pretty much skeered to take it anywhere it might disappear. It stays in the backseat of the pickup truck. It is like watchin after a youngin. No thanks... $49 Igloo on wheels for soccer was the ticket. Easier to move about and we only need ice to last a day. Fishin the keys or the river or even trailering from central Fl where I stay,,I am spoiled with ice machines. Nice 250 to 500 lb/day kinda ice machines.. LOL! It cost nothing. We dump ice out just to watch it melt. No seriously, it is so nice because it didn't used to be that way at all. Block Ice for offshore is the ticket. Fishing out of the keys the dialy ice bill without the maker was real PRICEY depending on the fishing your doing. Bottom line is your icing coolers every day due to melt. The Yeti cooler I got would be a good size for speckled perch or bream BTW. Youd have to cut a keeper cobia into three pieces to get him in the cooler. LOL no ice, WTF was I thinking...

Joe, I've heard good things about the Rtic , only problem is finding them. Most are Order online and get it shipped to you. Used to be a guy in a van that would travel around and sell them out of the back , like a food truck. Word would get out where he was going to be.
Ridge, spot on bout the small yeti. My daughter got one of the 25 qt to take to the beach. Had no idea how heavy it would be loaded. Now it stays in the garage, except for tubing trips. Down the rivers. It fits perfect in a tube.
