Here is my recommendation too get a relatively low quality cooler with the same capabilities as a Yeti.
Igloo® White Marine Ice Chest Cooler, 20 in (L) x 11 1/4 in (W) x 13.13 in (H), 25 qt - $79.99
next buy the blue or pink closed cell foam from Home Depot or Lowes's,
1 4x8 sheet - not sure on price
now take that foam and cut it too insulate the inside of the cooler, yes this will lower the qt size but you will have ice that will last for 5 days, and also use the gallon jugs and fill them 3/4 full and freeze them, if you want too go even cheaper you can use blankets from your home too insulate the inside of the cooler, I am an expert at cheap and stuff that last's, I have had jugs last 4-5 days in 100+ degree heat in the Owyhee's antelope hunting with no problem, the jugs still had ice in the center when I got home, so either you can spend less than a $100 or buy a yeti..... which I go the cheap route....[cool]
