I use the brute 20 gallon bins from Home Depot I have 2 of them one for salt one for fresh I also have 5 five gallon pails for water changes and storing all my salt water stuff all of which is stored in an unused corner in my kitchen.

You can also go to many restaurants and ask to get pails and buckets from them as almost all their buckets and pails are food grade and generally don't reuse them and end up being tossed. Best places to get them from are places like Boston Pizza, Pizza Hut, Moxie's, Tony Roma's and any others that go through a lot of product weekly just ask for the manager or kitchen boss.

Try to stay away from Asian restaurants though as many tend to use strong chemicals to kill bacteria as many of their products are kept raw and generally not frozen to maintain freshness and may contain trace materials harmful to an aquarium.
