I have a bunch of containers that are various cut up gallon milk jugs.
If you happen to need to pour things around, the "top" part acts like
a built-in funnel.

For example, my old FeCl "tank" is a milk jug with the handle side cut
off vertically, just short of the opening.  Gives a flat rectangular
container with a pour spout.

You just have to be careful picking it up as it's quite flexible.
