check craigslist. or call around to bakeries. that's how i got mine. they end up with hundreds of em and it costs em money to have them recycled, so they're often willing to just give them away. since they hold flower and other baking ingredients, they're food safe.

Local hydro stores are pricey

Home Depot totes are pretty cheap
