5 gallon Black buckets
I try to buy in bulk when I can and most of my dry foods do come in 50 lbs bags. However bugs and get in though th paper bags, they could get wet and ruin your food so transferring my dry goods to a black bucket helps to keep the shelf life longer
Oxygen Absorbers
Oxygen absorbers give you a little add peace when storing dry goods. Absorbers are also needed if you are needing to stop dry goods for a long period of time ( more than a year). no oxygen no bugs! lol!!
Moisture Absorbers
Moisture absorbers are a must with food storage. They are great at keep moisture out of your food if you have higher humidity climate or in your home.
Storage Containers
These storage containers are great to store all kinds of dry goods in with air tight lids and labels, plus they are clear so you can see what's in them.
