You can do the same with a square milk crate. They also stack. A square milk crate will store 32 15 oz cans of veggies. Relatively easy to carry and move.
But how many of us are as likely to find a milk crate rather than empty coffee cans? Believe they might be found at our friendly Wally World - but at a price. LOL not many in today’s world have a clue as to how milk once arrived at our front door each morning; other than the milk white fairy might have visited :-)
