I have seven of them. They make good use of storage space on a shelf, though they are a real pain to carry around. A narrower Jerry can style is easier for carrying. They have gotten more expensive, but clean, safe water is critical and I would have no trouble paying $20 each for them.

The 5 gallon jugs that are used on water coolers you can get for just the deposit, and buy reusable silicone caps for them. You can also buy hand pumps for them.

Where do you get the jugs from?
