just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
An old rucksack for stands and 4 ways, a silver tool case thingy for leads and odds and sods.
Would be good to get one thing for everything, but my neatly coiled cables always end up snagging aroung the stands if I put it all in the rucksack.

I used to use one of these type things -

Now my wife carries her own gear bag so I can usually fit any extras in there.
Tool box, one of those aluminium look briefcase sized one. Fits a bunch of pedals, and enough cables/patch leads to cover most eventualities (provided the pedals are off-board)
I keep one at home with any guitar related spares (Strings, springs, tools)
Ringleader of the Cambridge cartel, pedal champ and king of the dirt boxes (down to 21)
Exactly, I basically use the B&Q version of that (the toolbox, not RHC's wife).

- A hard case originally made for a 3U rackmount job. I keep a "minimum kit" of 3 coax leads, 1 speaker lead, a mains lead, a foldup guitar stand, a music stand, etc in there
- An ex-army ammunition box with DI boxes, loads of all kinds of leads, mains extenders, roll of gaffa tape etc
The former for where I know where I'm going and that I'm only going to need what's in thereThe latter for when I suspect that "anything" could be required of me.
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
I use a Cornish Real Nappy Project hessian bag - everybody should have one
It fits perfectly in the gap at the end of my sports bag/holdall (£10 from a well known supermarket) with my amp, and contains all my leads, pedals (I only use a couple) socket tester etc... It really couldn't fit better if I'd had it custom made.
Seriously though, the cheap sports bag thing is holding up really well after a year or so of use. My amp and the other bits I keep in there are pretty heavy and it's not showing any signs of seams giving way or anything yet. Gets taken out on average once a week I suppose for rehearsals or gigs. I expected it to fall apart quickly and have to get something better, but it's looking like it'll last me a good bit longer at this rate. Wouldn't be durable enough for a professional probably, but for this amateur playing out a few times a month it's perfect.
All my PA leads are in a smallish suitcase with pullout handle and wheels.
I try to have seperate bags with what I need and some spares ready to go so I don't have to lug too much or risk missing something depending on the gig/band.
For a few years I used a couple of cooler bags I got free from sainsburys - lasted quite well and the square shape made them quite handy.

I hear Chuck Norris uses the same thing, but in yellow...
