I did "permanently" attach them to beams in the wall behind them as I didn't trust them that much! They weighed well over 100lbs each. At the time (3 years ago) they were from $80 to $150 depending on the size at Home Depot,. I know people who have used "pre-owned" kitchen cabinets that are available from various local sources. Depends on what your garage is worth to you. It gets hot in (most) garages so keep that in mind with what you put in them.

Cheap heavy, cabinets and furniture is often made from material sold under several names some are particle board and chip board. It is essentially saw dust glued together.
It often contains sand and is tough on tools. It is flat, it is stable it is not very strong.
My opinion plastic is a better option. There are cheep and better quality plastic cabinets.
