do you have a freezer? I store all my flour in the freezer until I am ready to use it. But we live in NC too... |

I usually don't buy that much since its only 2 of us but my mom always stored it in a clean 5 gallon bucket with a tight lid. I wonder if those big pet food containers would work? I don't know how tight those lids fit but it would be worth checking. |

I store mine in a sealable rubbermaid tote...I've used the same one for almost 9 years now! :) works good. |

I keep my flour in icecream buckets in the freezer. One bucket fits perfect in my canister in the kitchen then. |

If you'd like to try a bucket, a store like Lowes has plain 5 gal. buckets for very a reasonable price. I buy most of my flour at the bulk food store in @ 10 lb. bags and keep in the freezer unless I'm going to use a lot right away. I keep some in my little pantry, too.
My Mom used to buy 50 # at a time, divide it into 2- 5 gal. buckets, then put one in the freezer and the other one in the pantry.
Sugar would be great to store in a 5 gal. bucket, and it wouldn't need to be frozen. Flour can get buggey if you don't use it fast enough. :( |

Clean dry wall mud buckets are what I use for all kinds of things like that. |
