[QUOTE="JEVapa, post: 3817520, member: 41176"] Those bins would be good for bags of chips or something that's lightweight. I use food grade plastic buckets with lids. That would be HDPE 1 or 2 if I remember; same class as the blue H2O drums. I got some at Tractor supply and I think Winco has them along with O2 absorbers (iron oxide packets) and mylar bags. In a pinch, you can use hand warmers; they are iron oxide and resin. They work. The Mormon cannery over by the airport doesn't carry canning or long-term storage supplies anymore but they do have wheat and beans in bags and canned and dry goods in packaged #10 cans. All the beans you want. It's easy too, like zero labor. You can get all the long-term storage supplies online as well. Figure out what size bags you'll use, pour dry good into it (leave room for seal-don't make a big@ss ball), drop 1-2 O2 absorbers, seal with an iron on hot-cotton setting (or a heat press if you're fancy) to seal the mylar. Put in bucket. Good for 15-30ish years. Shorter term or use case, just dump dry goods into bucket and put on lid. Use as you go. If sealed, will be good for 2-5 years depending on temp and seal. O2 absorbers won't work with this method. There are lid adapters for daily use buckets that have screw on lids with rubber gaskets. These are great but a little spendy. You can get can sealers too for dry goods if you like using the #10 cans. I highly recommend getting a flour mill or having access to one. A good one that will last longer than you. It won't break. Chicoms make junker ones...look good until you use it.
