I need to buy a long spout watering can and I can't find any in the stores. If you have one, where did you get it? I like cheap prices! Also, I'd like it to be atleast 1 gallon capacity so I don't have to keep refilling it several times whenever I water.
I found a cool one at GardenersSupplyCompany but it only holds a quart.
Watering Can?
I use Dramm 2 & 5 Liter watering cans & find them of excellent quality, durable, well balanced, and reasonably priced. The item #s are 12359 & 12360.

Watering cans are tough to find this time of year- at least in the Northeast where I am. You may have to wait till the end of March or so, when the garden "season" for retail picks up.
That said, eBay usually has all kinds of cans listed. You may be able to fulfill your "cheap" requirement there. But be advised, you get what you pay for! The pricier watering cans are well designed; they are balanced, with comfortable handles, and are made of strong materials. A gallon of water weighs 8 pounds- the can needs to be able to hold that without springing a leak, and enable you to tip & pour without straining or slopping.
Hawes' cans are the top of the line. OXO makes some decent middle of the road ones out of plastic. You can find a servicable galvanized metal one at Ace or Tractor Supply in season, though the spout may not be the length you're looking for. I got a terrific 'Martha" one at a Kmart years ago.
The one I want is the Haws 1.5 gallon green plastic one, but it's been too pricey for me. http://www.hawswateringcans.com/outdoorplastic.asp
