The bakery at Sams club gets there frosting is 2 gallon buckets. They ask that you leave a donation for charity. I've asked a few times and usually score 25 with lids.
You'll get a couple that leak like you described. I fill them all with water and set them upside down on the lid on a concrete pad and let them sit in the sun for a couple days. Most settle in and seal.
