alternative pots...

hey all. i have a bunch of small plants that will need to be transplanted into larger containers in the next week or so. i was wandering what i could use for cheap buckets. the pots at dollar stores and lowes are all atleast 3 bucks a piece, and i will need like 50 of them (too expensive needless to say). i like the pots that plants come in from the garden store (the kind of cheap, 12-16 inch ones that are green and come with small shrubs and trees when u buy them) but i cant find anywhere that sells just them individually, i would think they would be like a dollar or something. if i didnt have so many plants, i wouldnt mind spending 3 bucks a pop, but since i have quite a few, i would like to find a container that is pretty cheap but will work just as well. does any1 know who sells the cheap plastic pots i mentioned above? they dont have to be too large considering there is only about a 1.5 months left for them to veg, but the red drinking cups they are in wont be cutting it in a few weeks, and i dont want root bound plants. any suggestions? they dont need to be coinventional pots u know, just something that will hold soil, is a dark color (for camo, i can spray paint them a little if need be). any thoughts? thanks alot

If you want really cheep contaners that are big like you want them go to a gardening store and just bargin with them best bet, You could just got to a big box sotre and see if they might have them there.
