Bulk Flour Storage

[Guest]

A five gallon bucket with a lid is perfect! One to hold flour, one to hold sugar! Just go to your local fast food place and ask for an empty pickle bucket ( 5 gallon size) It is free, perfect container and you help recycle!

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?
