We use 5 gal buckets to store our grains (put a cushion on the buckets, decorate them with some ribbon and we have stools!!!). When we want fresh bread, we grind what we need – healthy, yummy, and cheaper way to keep wheat.

[...] Dry goods (pasta, rice, cereal, etc): Instead of buying these by the box/bag, get them in the bulk aisle. (Also use your own bags/totes for this). You can also research where you can buy dry good items in large quantities. Buying bulk will save money, time, and packaging materials! For more information on food storage read our article here.

Hi Milly: We had problems with storing flour (and bugs hatching in it) until we started a new policy: all flours, sugars and beans spend a few days in the deep freezer before they come into the house. Since then, no problems. (Knock on wood.)

Great article, ive been buying dehydrated organic goods, kinda like what they do for nasa, and then ive just been deep freezing all my organically grown produce. I go through alot of perishable and organic goods because i do a total" rel="nofollow">http://www.totalcleanseguide.com/">total cleanse on a regular basis which requires having properly maintained produce ad well as whole grains.

Thanks for a thorough article. I've been wondering what the ideal storage temperature was, and it turns out my unfinished, unheated basement is the place! I'm going to start frequenting the bulk store more often.

It's amazing how much waste comes from food packaging and it's mostly unnecessary. We should be looking to buy food in bulk and store it as this article shows. Storing hundreds of canned food containers and packaged foods, like the survival stores sell, is just more of the same problem. I like the focus here on storing whole foods which require less packaging and are more nutritious for us. I would like to see more article of this kind.

Very helpful, thanks! We follow many of these practises, and to your list I would add lentils and millet, which store well and cook easily.

Ive been a bulk buyer for a few years now, our understairs cupboard is full of tupperwear with enough bits and bobs to last a lifetime! -Ive always had problems trying to keep flour though, it either browns or I get the dreaded pests that live in it
