Amazon does have these:

How many do you need? I've been saving cottage/cool whip containers for fabric dyeing.

If you realize you don't regularly use & reuse anything that will suit your needs, maybe check with the kitchen departments of your local schools, retirement homes, etc., any place that cooks in bulk on a regular basis. They may be able and willing to save containers, provided you pick them up every day. Speaking from experience - I used to volunteer in such a kitchen and we would save #10 tins for a group that used them for something, I can't remember what.

Oooooh I hadn't thought of that, KalamaQuilts has a great idea!! You can get all kinds of very inexpensive disposable containers at restaurant supply stores. There's one in my town called Smart Foodservice, formerly known as Cash & Carry.
