I purchased a Stanley wet/dry vac on closeout at Walmart. For a cheapy vacuum, the price was right at $30 which is approx half off.

Thing works good for what I use it for, but knowing the filter isn't going to last forever I sought out to find replacements and am having zero luck finding anything other than the high priced OEM stuff which is almost the cost of the vacuum.
Are there any universal filters, or standardization in the sizes? This particular filter measures about 7" x 7" with a 6" opening. Many of the shop-vac filters I see online appear to be very similar in size, but exact dimensions on retail sites are hard to come by and I don't want to waste my time buying something that does not fit.
I also see filters looking like this https://www.amazon.com/Shop-vac-901...&sr=8-5&keywords=shop+vac+filter which seem like they could be made universal using a strong rubber band or something to secure it.
One thing is for sure, I'm not paying $30 for a filter that cost more than the vacuum, so I'd like to find a solution. Does anyone know the dimension of a small shopvac filter? Wondering if it's close enough to fit mine. The Stanley filter number that fits my vacuum is 08-2566B-- very little options online unfortunately.
Any ideas other than tossing the vacuum and buying something name-brand?
