My local photo place wants $9 a pop for those 1 gal. chemical jugs!

Cute, isn't it? Check out the price of an empty spray bottle at the
hardware store - $3.00 - compared to the same bottle filled with
Windex - $1.50.

Chemical jugs are made from thicker PE plastic than milk-jugs.
I have found the best equivalent to be Minute-Maid Orange Juice
jugs at $5.00 each when filled with rather good orange juice.

As other's have mentioned, 1 liter/quart PETE soda bottles are
also suitable as PETE is reasonably gas impermeable. And splitting
a gallon of solution into smaller lots makes it last a lot longer.

My favorite, though, is the Cubitaner:

Dektol stock keeps for a year (when made with boiled distilled water; stirred,
not shaken).

Do-it-yourself cubitainers can be made from the cartons and aluminized
Mylar bags from wine-in-a-box (don't even think of drinking the wine,
it's uniformly awful).
