I mean is there really another alternative? Suppose you can use a bunch of 5g bucket?

Not going to find anything cheaper delivered. Unless someone is breaking something down.

They are most certainly the most cost effective solution. There are many other types of suitable containers on the market , but those options are more expensive.

Than you would have to most likely look into those tall square units, but they are a pretty penny.
I'm assuming you're asking about water storage containers and not necessarily portable options.
Ace Roto Mold containers. Rural King had very reasonable delivery prices but can't confirm if that's still the case.
If you want portable, brute trash cans on a rolling dolly is still probably the best option.

Exactly. That’s why most ppl end up using trash cans. Those things can costs hundreds.

Yeah. I thought I found a 30 gallon container that would fit my application.
Loaded it in the cart for about $65. Then went on to shipping and that was going to add $78.
Had to pass.
Stores like Rural King and Tractor Supply Company typically offer in store pickup, assuming you have a store like that near you. Otherwise, the best thing you can do is wait and these places will sometimes offer attractive sales and shipping options from time to time. I picked up two 40 gallon Ace Roto Mold containers from Rural King for $170 total (including shipping) in September of 2016. It took me waiting a few months, but it was an item on my wish list. Having large storage areas for RO water and salt water storage was one of the best things I invested in. I highly recommend having a water mixing station!
