Dry Goods Storage---Lock & Lock 38-cup rectangle storage

[Genoa]

Do you think that this would be good for storage of dry goods, like flour, sugar, rice, etc? I don't mean storage for 10-15 years, but maybe for up to 2 years? The reason I thought it might work is that it says that it is 100% airtight and has a silicone sealing ring. I thought maybe, if I threw in an oxygen absorber, it would work.

Should work just fine but it seems like an expensive container for basic storage. An OA would help for long-term.

I several small ones like this and I do like them. They are very tight.

Thanks---nice to have some personal recommendations. I've ordered some to try out.

 

They are, certainly, more expensive than reusing/recycling other containers; but the ones I ordered fit perfectly on some of my pantry shelves, with no wasted space. When space is tight, it is great to have something that fits so well. Plus I like the fact that they seal airtight.

 

By the way, the Lock & Lock, along with other storage items, are on sale at Organize.com right now; so I got them there instead of Amazon.

I have some of them and I really like them. I'm using mine for cereal and for spaghetti. I worry about bugs getting in cereal. I feel pretty secure storing it in the L & L containers. Mine are the taller ones though.

They work very well, especially with oxygen absorbers. I have dehydrated celery, peas, tomato powder, and powdered butter stored in several of mine as well as some dehydrated fruit.

 

Check Wal-mart.

 

I have seen the 16 cup containers there for about $6.00.

I haven't looked for larger sizes, but they may have them, or can get them for you. The price from Amazon seems high though.

Thanks, Campy. I almost never go to Walmart, but I'll have to check that out. My daughter becomes very anxious in crowds, so I avoid going to Walmart because it never ends well. Might be worth it this time.

I'm not sure what they cost at our Walmart but that sounds like a pretty good price for one that size. It was a long time ago when I bought mine. Also, our Super K-Mart has them and so does our Bed Bath and Beyond but neither one has them listed on their website.
