Plastic tub to hold equivalent of two standard washing powder boxes

I have a dull problem - for various reasons my washing powder boxes keep getting damp and falling apart before the end. So I am looking for a sturdy plastic container to keep the powder in. Do any of you have any recommendations? I had a look on Amazon but the search came up with a load of pretty, metal tins (which will rust).

My Mum has an AWESOME one … but she got it at Poundland and they don’t sell them any more.

I used to use a cereal dispenser for this exact reason, though not sure if one would take 2 big boxes' worth of powder at once.

My boxes are fine however the powder does turn lumpy due to dampness. I have now resorted to decanting half into a cereal dispenser and using the boxed half first. Its very annoying.

Could you look for a small container to store one box, and bag up the other box and put it away somewhere? I'm assuming that you're buying them two at a time for convenience or bulk buy discounts?
