That's how much I paid anyways.

Ask someone at a restaurant or look around the dumpster at a restaurant. I can usually scope out a free one.

Try going to any large grocery store that has a full service bakery(One that does cake decorating in house). Ask them if you can have their empty icing buckets. They're 5 gallon PVC buckets with sturdy lids. They're also food grade, and will be guaranteed not to bleed mind melting chemicals when exposed to heat, as cheap PVC will do.

ask a painter or if you have any painter friends. I got 20 buckets with lids for free. had some dry paint on the outside but the insides were clean.
Painters can also get cheap/free buckets from paint stores they frequent.

Painters, restaurants or hardware stores have them. Wal-Mart, too. Painters and restaurants can get them to you for free, but they'll require cleaning. I've never been able to get the vinegar smell out of a bucket, and I don't want it to throw off my pH, so I don't use them from restaurants.
