Are you going to splurge on a new propane tank this year? If so, instead of buying that brand new propane tank, simply buy a used one then take advantage of the many trade in centers they have available. It doesn’t make sense to trade in your brand new tank when you are going to be getting a used one in return.

Some trade-in centers you can buy the used tanks or look for one on Freecycle (more on using Freecycle here). A new tank will run you $60 or more, so you will definitely save money in the long run. And all tanks are checked when the depots refill then, meaning you know the tank you receive is in working order.

Happy BBQing!
