Those of you stashing things like large bags of rice - are they in the house? I don't have room for anything in my shoebox, so all my stash lives in the garage. I'd like to buy flour/rice/sugar in large packets, but worry about damp getting in - do you keep them in something?0

As this is more about shopping than Old Style, I'll move it to the Grocery board

Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere (please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies.
