I made this today after shopping for a elevated dog feeder for my Great Dane. Online they run $30+ and some of them dont have a storage area for the food. If you dont mind not having the designer look, the container (18 gallon tote) was $7@ Walmart, the food bowl also @ Walmart were $3 each. Now I dont have to find a place for the dog food bag, my Dane can reach her food without straining and I still have green in the pocket book!
