I store sugar in those huge decorative popcorn cans that are so popular during Christmas time. They will hold 25 lbs. each. My late FIL (1906) was a popcorn fan and always received several cans for Christmas. When we bought the family out of the old homestead, I found an entire closet of the cans and wanted to utilize them somehow. I also use them for rice. You can line them with a large kitchen size (13 gal.) trash bag and it gives you plenty to twist tie them shut, and that may help longer-term needs, but I usually don’t bother.

Nice, this is one of the things I love about FR, such things can be discussed seriously, not everything is political all of the time.

And instead of screaming about needing more .Gov help, we can all have a chat on how to save money on one of the 3 things everyone needs.
