Default Where to Buy Rectangular Aluminum "Take-Out" Containers

I want to purchase a few of those rectangular aluminum/tin take-away containers to freeze some food in for the upcoming hunting season. A hunting friend uses them and they're super simple to reheat on a small stove/fire. The containers are about 10" x 8" x 3" deep...

Does anyone use these? Where can I buy a few sets of these things? I was told to look a dollar stores, but haven't found anything. Thank you!

Never have seen them but maybe Campers Village might have them.. If all else fails you can most likely find them on Amazon.ca

locally you could try Uline or Enterprise Paper. They are wholesale supply outlets.
Staples handle some food service supplies so they might have something.

If you can't find anything locally there is always the internet. There are lots of sources online.

I buy my product packaging online and have done considerable research into the subject. It's amazing what you can order online.
And in some cases, in much smaller volumes then one might imagine.

I can order my packaging in any number over 100.

I just buy the lasagna trays at the grocery store and use two layers of heavy duty aluminium foil for the top.

Opps, I didn't see that! Thanks.

There is still the dollar stores and Staples. There ought to be wholesale outlets there as well, but I do all my purchasing in Edmonton or online.

We don't have that sort of thing up here.

This is definitely your best bet, I've bought them there before as well.

Dollarama has them in their kitchen utensils aisle, at least the one here in Olds does.
