See-through containers UK

I've made about 6 sourdough loaves so far and just bought the Tartine book.

After seeing the see-through plastic container used to store the dough whilst in the bulk fermentation, I want to buy one.

This is proving harder than I thought...

 

I found a load of polycarbonate containers, but I want something BPA-free so ideally looking for polypropylene or something similar.

I found this linked from another thread on the forum, however UK buy is outrageous price and you can't choose the size either.

Can anyone help point me in the right direction?

I use a variety of containers, but the best i have for your app would be Ghostbusters popcorn containers, BUT 250g of popcorn must be eaten to obtain the empty pail £1.97p  

They are very good quality pails with lids and handles. 6lts

Or these work good  and you can stack em.

Don't snap the lids full closed, and make sure that whatever you it's food grade.
