With the National Weather Service forecasting wet weather through March, it seems like an opportune time to invest in a rain barrel. Rain barrels hold water that has been collected from roofs. They not only save money on your monthly water bill, but also help the environment by reducing urban runoff.

This portable 34-gallon collapsible rain barrel from the eco-conscious online store Green Home is made of flexible, puncture-resistant, laminated polyester. Simply place it outdoors under your gutter or on your patio and reuse the water for your gardening needs.

The rain barrel has a wide mouth that allows for easy access and a mesh screen to keep out leaves and other debris. Zip open the top to fill your bucket or install a compatible garden hose to the attached nozzle at the base. On sale this week for $59 (down from $70).
