What do you store your Sugar and Flour and Etc? Canisters from what store or company? I need to replace them. Thank you...

I have the square boxes from the container store designed to store flour and sugar. It holds a whole bag of each and has a spout to pour from. Love them! No more open bags hanging out on the shelves to leak.

I live in a very dry, bug free climate so I can keep both in their original bags ... I do transfer the flour to my countertop IKEA canister for convenience sake but if I forget, no biggie  |

I have plastic containers I bought at Ikea. They work well enough. At one point, I was keeping them in large glass jars, but I got tired of trying to get the scoop into the jar.

I use those square storage containers from Tupperware (Modular Mates?) and have for years ... they work great. Actually I need some new lids, mine are so worn out. Any Tupperware consultants out there? I need you!

Hmmm, I will have to check these out. I have canisters (had them for 15 years, no clue where I got them. They are ceramic.) that do not hold an entire bag. I have all these partial bags in ziplocks in the pantry. I would love to get rid of them. |

I have two large rectangular Tupperware Modular Mates that I bought at a party about a year before I got married. That would make them 23 years old. I just emptied a new bag of flour into one earlier and it's a perfect fit. They seal nicely, too. I don't stack them in my current storage situation but before my kitchen was remodeled I did, and that was a real space-saver.

I use Steel Pop containers by OXO. I think I'm obsessed with them. I put everything possible in one. They come in a lot of different sizes.

No more open bags hanging out on the shelves to leak. OMG! I have to get my buns back to the Container Store. I was there a few weeks ago and didn't see those. I've been looking for the perfect flour & sugar storage solution for ages. You'd think making containers that hold exactly 5 lbs of flour or 2 lbs of sugar would be a no-brainer for container manufacturers. |

I have this box from the Container Store for flour. I have 4 different sugars in my cabinet so I use these stackable containers in green. I cut out the packaging from the sugar and tape it to the outside so I remember what it is. |

I use these ones from Rubbermaid. They are discontinued now, but I love them enough I will probably choose Rubbermaid again when it's time to replace them. We have a weevil problem in our area. If you don't store your flour in the right container, you will get weevils. I have been using these canisters for 20 years and I have never had a problem with any food I've stored in them. Even my corn meal that I use so seldom doesn't get weevils. I do have to laugh about only needing space for 2lbs of sugar and 4lbs of flour. The thing I love best about the Rubbermaid set I have is that it holds a 10lb bag of sugar perfectly. I can't imagine needing less. I may bake too much, though. |

Modular Mates for sugars, and a rectangle container from Tupperware that is large enough to hold a 20lb bag of flour. The closest I could find was this first aid kit from Tupperware BrasilCoincidentally, other countries carry completely different products from the US or Canada. There are even different products for the two countries. |

Large gasket lock jars. I think I got mine at TJ Maxx but have seen them other places as well.

I have used Tupperware Modular Mates (the large rectangles) for 26 years. They still seal tightly, but have started to smell funny in the past few years (but that doesn't affect the stuff in them, and it is only the flour and sugar that smell, none of my many others). I'd like to replace them, but since they still work I can't justify the cost.  |

I store flour and sugar in a five gallon bucket with a screw on/off lid. And store it in my kitchen island. It worked perfectly for me. However we are moving and my new kitchen is going to be tiny so i need to find something smaller.

Any Tupperware consultants out there? I need you! Me too and I found extra lids that match my discontinued color on ebay. Tupperware would of replaced them but only with the new color. I needed them to match lol |

I use the Tupperware cereal containers- the large holds five pounds of flour and the small holds five pounds of sugar. (Assuming they haven't changed them)

Before I put my flour, corn meal etc. in the containers I always put the bag in the freezer for at least 24 hours. I have never had bugs in them. I don't know if that is the reason it's just something my grandma always did.

I have flour in a large square Rubbermsid container made for that purpose. My sugar is in a specialty container that has a cap that doubles as a measuring cup. I love that thing to death and I have rice in one, also. But I have not been able to find the containers again or I'd buy more.
