With as much baking as I do, I realized it would save me quite a bit to purchase my baking flour in bulk. I usually make about 6 loaves of bread a week and 2-4 batches of pancakes, waffles or muffins also. Flour is individually priced at $.80 /#. When purchased in a 25# bag, it is half the price at $.40 per #. Cannot beat those savings.
The next step is finding a good airtight way to store the flour that will not take up too much space. After doing a bit of research, the best solution I found was an Iris Airtight pet food storage container with wheels. The plastic is FDA approved for food storage. The lid is so easy to open and the container fits beautifully behind my kitchen door for easy availability. The 25# of flour fit perfectly. YAY, I love easy, cheap solutions. Rich and I figured that with the savings in flour each month would quickly pay off the $20 we spent on the container.
