Default Potato/onion Storeage?

Harris Teeter, a local grocery store, has 2.5 gallon snap-tite barrels
on sale for $5.35. I've got rice in one, flour in another, and egg
noodles in a third. Would it be prudent to pick up another barrel for
potato storeage? Or do potatoes not like to be in air tight barrels?

Potatoes need to "breathe" or they'll rot.
No airtight barrels. Also, do not store potatoes
near fresh onions. They make each other spoil.
I store both in the fridge, well apart.
Both spoil much faster when exposed to heat & light.
