Containers are certainly something to invest in. As I mentioned in the Safety Supply List, glass and stainless steel containers are the best you can have if you plan on storing the contents for an extended period of time. If you need a quick container, you can still use plastic recycled ones but I don't suggest always storing your materials in these because the plastic will eventually start to break down and contaminate your materials causing you to have to remake them and waste valuable resources.
You can go online to places like Ebay and buy some cheapo containers or you can go to a thrift store or antique shops.
Be sure to LABEL THEM ACCURATELY. Don't just label your mixture "Black Powder" especially if you have different kinds of compounds. Here's an example:
Yes, these are both Black Powder compounds but they're still different on a molecular level. It's also important to write in your dates because the older your materials the less potent they are. It's important to label all of your containers because a lot of your materials tend to look the same (i.e. sugar and KNO3).
Be sure to store them in a dry, dark area at room temperature.
Hope this helps.
Keep safe, kids.
