Frozen food shipping containers and packaging?

My parents have a concession business and have many fine things to eat. During their down time between events I suggested they start selling things online. Websites are easy and I will make it for them. The only thing I am having a problem with is finding containers or packaging that I can ship frozen products in. I want to keep the cost down as much as possible so I don't have to charge an arm and a leg to the customer for shipping. If I try and order 500 styrofoam containers I dont't have enough space to store them. Anytime I try and find shipping materials that are for frozen things the packaging cost about as much as what I'm selling. Any suggestions? Anyone know of a company to order packaging at a good price that can handle dry ice or ice packs?

1. Talk to FedEx or UPS, they may supply packaging - You're going to need speedy delivery for frozen stuff & I suspect the cost may be high.
