Food Storage Ideas

Pin It

Shopping the big box stores
is a great way to save money 
and be prepared....But what
do you do with 25lb of sugar?

Buckets are the cheapest way
to store bulk dry goods from the
big box stores.
Lowe's carries a paint bucket
that is food grade.  Its Very
important that it be labeled
food grade.

Make sure that the lids you use 
have a rubber seal in them.

An even better choice is a
Gamma Lid they make a screw off
lid that fits standard buckets.
I found the best place to get them
is Amazon. You can also get tablets
that will remove all the air from the
bucket for long term storage.

The big box stores are great. But..
your local restaurant supply
can order anything you want
like a 50lb bag of unbleached flour
for $20...No membership fee required.  

And a 25lb bag of corn meal
for $11.

I use the Gamma Lids for flour 
and sugar...then I keep a canister
on my bar and refill it from the 
bucket.

1 bucket holds a 25 lb bag of sugar
with room to spare. 

Now that you have filled your 
buckets you need to find a place 
for them....I put mine behind the 
laundry room door...Just be carful 
stacking them to high if you have
curious little ones running
around.

These containers are great for
smaller amounts...I got them at
 Wal-Mart($2 small,$4 large)

Another way to store flour is
to freeze it...I hope this post
has been helpful to you...If you
