Bargains on rain barrels?

Lowe's wants $100. Ace Hardware $90.
Anyone know of bargain prices anywhere?
Northern Tool (the one in North Raleigh, at least) has a 55gal unit
complete with spigots for $60, on sale from $80. The downside is that
there are no holes in the top. There is a screw-off concave lid. You
are supposed to just take the lid off and run the downspout into the
barrel. A DIY mosquito incubator. However, It should be a trivial
matter to use a hole saw to cut a hole in the screw lid, cover it with
screen to keep the skeeters out, and let the downspout dump into the
lid.
