Outdoor adventurers at every level need a solid insulated cooler in their life. They’re ideal for camping, beach trips, and even for backyard BBQs. But if you want to invest in a cooler that will last you a lifetime, then you’ve realized you have to invest — the bestselling YETI Tundra 45 Hard Cooler will set you back $300. But there’s a less expensive cooler on the market that reviewers say is just as good as the YETI brand but costs half as much.
The RTIC insulated cooler, which is on sale for under $140 right now at Walmart, is a lightweight hard-shelled cooler that is designed to be easily carryable, even when full. It features 2.5 inches of insulation that will keep your food and drinks crisp and the sturdy locks will keep the cold in for up to five days.
This cooler, which can hold up to 48 cans, also has dual drain plugs for easy emptying, a built-in bottle opener, and a freezer-style gasket at the top to really lock in the chill.

“Excellent cooler, nice and light,” one Walmart reviewer wrote. “I bought this for my pull-behind motorcycle trailer because I wanted to travel as light as possible still had ice morning of day five. I highly recommend this.”
Another reviewer wrote, “We got this cooler for a weekend trip we had planned. Nothing crazy just wanted to keep drinks cold and food cool. Wow! How did a couple of freezer packs in one corner manage to lower the temp in the whole space so much??? Great cooler, look forward to seeing how it does with a load of ice and drinks.”
“I’m a long-time Yeti user [but] when I bought the RTIC I was pleasantly surprised,” someone else wrote. “It’s a great cooler, super light, and the ice retention matches Yeti.”
Grab the RTIC cooler at just $134 and save the other half you would have spent on a YETI for your summer travel fund. This thing will not disappoint you!
