Does anyone know of a reasonably priced source for water containers that hold 20-30 gallons? In surfing around on various water container sites, $65-80 seems to be the going rate per container. Maybe that's simply what these things cost but it seems a tad steep....:(

It might be a long shot, but you could possibly find something in here

May I recommend your local soft drink bottler? I have found food-grade plastic drums there, both 60-gallon and 30-gallon, for about five bucks each.

Just rinse the Hawaiian Punch concentrate out, and you are good to go. :)

I'll definitely look into that, thanks.

We purchased a couple last year from our local bottler. If I remember right they were $10 each which was a really fair price considering the excellent condition that they were in. They look like they are the larger 60 gallon size.

My wife rinsed one out and filled it with tap water and a little bleach for storage based on a formula she found online. We have not tried the water but I am getting ready to open it and rinse it out again just to keep it fresh.
