Our local airport has been selling us Jet-A right out of the pump. With taxes it costs about 12-13 bucks to fill a Canadian Tire jug. I'm sure if you can get waste fuel drained from airplanes for servicing it may come cheaper but the Jet-A we bought was new fuel with no potential for contaminants from other "stray" fluids. Price is certainly better than jugs from CT.

I keep lots of used CT jugs for this purpose however, the next time I may just steal a drum from work and fill the whole damn thing.
