microwave, oven, freezer, rel. cheap containers - do they exist?

I'd really like to bulk cook food for my daughters, divide into portions and put into the freezer. But I'm not organised enough to think about getting food out in the morning so really need the containers to go into the microwave. Any solutions?

Asda sell chinese takeaway type containers (plastic not foil) about £1.95 for 6

Our local chinese takeaway uses plasic containers rather than foil ones. They are marked as microwave safe - I wash them out and use them to freeze stuff and microwave it.

You must be able to get them from somewhere that does catering supplies
