SamiGirl, I go to the local supermarket bakery section. They have the five gallon food-grade buckets with tight fitting lids. They get their frostings for cakes in these types of buckets. My supermarket will sell them for one or two dollars. I just call ahead to see if they have any and they hold them for me until I get there.

I use them to store flour, sugar, rice, etc. I also have one that I use to make sauerkraut.

Thanks for the tip.

Sauerkrout, eh? My parents used to make their own and it was so good. I’m so spoiled. Never learned how to make my own preserves or how to can food. I’m too afraid of botulism to even attempt it.

Great idea.

Thanks
