My husband built a set of shelves in our garage that are 2 feet deep x 16 feet long out of (16) 2 x 2s and (3) sheets of OSB for about $100. I don't have a tutorial for it but I'll attach a picture so you can see how they're built.
This depends on how much shelving you need and how heavy your storage will be.
