Plastic storage boxes

Bets place for them? Want ones with lids and that can be stacked. Fairly big as well

Wide range of them at both B&Q and Homebase.

Really Useful Boxes, there is a company that does seconds somewhere. They have funky colours, but are well worth it and are much sturdier than any other I have used.

This. Cheap and cheerful.

The Range often has a good selection at a reasonable price.

No proper dedicated places then

I got some pretty big ones from Ikea, not too bad a price either, something like £4.50 each.

Poundstretcher do them cheap, but not so good quality so depends what they are to be used for.

You'll probably get stuff cheaper from an eBay store, there's quite a lot of suppliers on there.

That would be my suggestion, they tend to be much stronger than other plastic storage boxes I've tried (with the exception of the old Addis boxes from about 30 years ago*).

IIRC B&Q are doing some deals on boxes at the moment, a 70 litre with a 25 litre box for about £20 or £25 from memory.
As you say not cheap, but typically a lot stronger.

*I've still got some of those in the garage, they used to hold lego when I was a pup, now they hold cables, tools and wiring.
