And I store my flour in half gallon canning jars to keep it fresher.
I warm the jar briefly in the oven and also the lids, then cap immediately as if I was canning it. Smaller amounts I freeze but don't have a large freezer now or it all would be frozen, as I do small amounts of corn meal I get from health food stores. Since I make my own it pays to get good stuff that large families can't afford.
Buy large amounts of white terry cloths from CostCo cheaply and use them for dishes, cleaning, on the swifter copy I got somewhere, and bleach, bleach and wash till they are ready to toss in the stuffing box. The stuffing is used in doggy beds for friends with elderly and large pets. Old corduroy pants from yard sales works very well for this.
