You will want some quality buckets that are food grade and have air tight seals, plus you should also get basic buckets even like the kind you can buy at a dollar store.

Here are the different uses for buckets:
fetch water
collect food
store food
a seat
a toilet
a mini-compost bin
a trash can
collect eggs from your chickens
lay sideways, fill with straw, and your chickens will nest there
carry survival gear and make bugging out more organized
raise earthworms
raise mealworms/super worms
raise minnows (for bait and for anchovies on my pizza)
cover the top with a screen and raise crickets
put clean water in a bucket and detoxify the tilapia you want to eat the next day by letting them swim in it for a day
fill it with dirt and keep it near your fire if you need to put it out quickly if a threat is approaching
shovel and remove ash from your fireplace
use them for moving earth, especially if you're digging in a hole
lower it into a well to get water
create a makeshift water tank
create a solar water heater by spray painting it black (most basic method)
create a water filter
mix concrete
harden concrete inside to act as a foundation for posts in the ground
sort food in food preparation
transport important plants/small trees in them
wash clothes in them
wash dishes in them
create a makeshift shower with them
use for watering your garden/crops
use as a trap for catching animals
use as container for making soap
use for a buried cache container
etc etc etc
Are you convinced? Buckets are crucial.
