Feed storage question

Anyone have any suggestions on what I can store my feed in? I feed a bag a day but will be close to two bags a day this fall. I buy by the ton and was storing in the barn, the racoons are fatter than the deer. I've been looking for free/cheap freezer or cooler but no luck. I'm feeding textured feed so a hopper is out. Any suggestions of a Cheap solution is much appreciated!
 
We use the large curbside Rubbermaid trashcans with the fold over locking lid. 2 holds exactly 500 lbs. They are reliable and coon proof.
 
I was able to find 55 gal. plastic barrels with lids. They just had powdered food product in them before I got them. One barrel holds approximately 300lbs of textured feed.
