Anyone else struggle with how to store their pre made meals?

Title kinda says it all I just want to store my meals in something that I'm happy with and makes me feel good about putting them away but I also don't want to break the bank and spend a fortune on little plastic tubs or tupperware. I've just made about 10 meals and been using the plastic tubs you can get for about $5 for a pack of 6, and that's just so wasteful and expensive in the long run but I don't know what I else I can use. Any suggestions?
