refridgerating mealworms is a great bet. they can last for months that way.

you can use trashcans to keep crickets in. Just put food and water at the bottom, egg crates stacked up, and viola, perfect cricket tub. If you keep the egg crates at least 12" below the edge of the edge of the trashcan the crickets won't get out.
when I worked at a petstore we would keep several thousand crickets in a trashcan that way. We lost at most a couple hundred crickets a week when it was hot, fewer when it was cool.

I have also been told from a couple reptile breeders that squashes and vegetables actually have more nutritious content to them. Zuccini, carrots, potatoes, and yellow squash are what I gutload crickets with.
