I found some 1.5 gallon sand pails with a rope handle at the local Dollar Tree and they were perfect for some tomato plants I needed to save from the community garden. I used a very skinny but tall drill bit and put about 4 holes in each one. I did them in a stack and I think I got four per stack done.

I can reuse them a few times. I am not sure you want to spend $1.00 per pot, but they are the perfect solution, since you can plant the tomato plants deeply, allowing for a very strong root system.
