Where do you buy your tubs?

I'm looking to build a big rack in the near future and I was curious where to buy a bunch of tubs. Are there any good websites that have them or would it just be better to get them from Walmart or Target?

When I used Rubbermaids, I got them from Menards (but I don't know if you have those in Chicago...)

Target is the only store I have found in my city (Madison) that carries the Sterilites I use. Well, Wal-Mart might, but I doubt it, and I wouldn't bother going there to find out if they did.

Anywho, I did notice that Target started carrying the elusive Iris brand tubs. Office Max has them too, but only the latchety-top ones. I only have one rack that uses Iris tubs, and I ordered them from The Container Store. The tubs are nice since they don't have any grooves in the bottom, but in my opinion, they're pretty flimsy.

The cheapest tubs I've bought are at BigLots (or Oddlot, whatever you call it) they're like 99 cents a piece and they're usually overstocked with them!! Ive built multiple racks with their tubs; be careful though check EVERY SINGLE ONE for cracks!! Good Luck!

I get my hatchling tubs for Walmart. The standard 6 qt for hatchlings, and a 12 qt for adults. In 28 quarts I put 1.3-1.4, however I only due this during breeding season, so I can utilize one male better. Otherwise they are seperate so they don't have to fight over food :)
