Bulk Flour Storage

[Guest]

I got the huge plastic storage container that I re-use with our pet food from the pet store. It was included with the mail in rebate, one I actually completed. LOL It was great.

If you use pet food (dry), contact the pet food company and ask if you can get one. Probably pretty reasonable. You don’t have to put the food in it.

Use it for your flour. Herlean

Right now I have about 20 pounds in my deep freezer. Rhonda

the rise in bread prices
has floored us recently. the cheapest we can
find is $2 a loaf, and that’s for the highly-proccessed, white stuff
that I can’t stand to put in my body. I know many swear by the bread
outlet stores but our local store is filled with overly stale bread
that falls apart the moment you try to do anything with it.

So, being home all day, I decided to start baking our own bread. I’d
rather invest the time in making bread where I know what all of the
ingredients are. After much experimentation, I found a bread recipe
that we like and is easy to make.

I want to buy flour in bulk from Costco (20 lb bags) to cut down on
costs. The question is, how can I store it so bugs can’t get into it
but not be intrusive? I don’t have a lot of storage or closets in my
house to hide a container and with 2 inqusitive kids, I have to keep it
secure.

Any ideas?
