Texas Tropical and Marine sells 5 gallon containers.

They are off Vance Jackson and 410, next to the uhaul station.

How big? 5,10,50,125g? I bought a 125 from Tractor Supply. I've found the same one much cheaper on Ebay and in TX.

In Austin, the CocaCola bottling company on Burnet Rd. sells 55 gallon drums for $5. I think Austin Homebrew sells same size for $10. Anything larger, like mike said, Texas Tractor Supply or any one of the area farm supply stores/feed stores.

my neighborhood just had the yearly trash pick up where everyone brings there large items to the curb, the city then comes by and picks up with a big claw and dump truck.
The point being look for old discarded water softeners, 35-80 gallon containers free! Also they always seem to have some kind of pump/plumbing equip. attached to them and usually the lid as well.

it's just the packrat part of me talking.:)

Good suggestions.

The best bet for anything over 55g, are the water containers at Tractor Supply that have the built in feet. Stable and are easy to store away.
