How do I keep packets of biscuits fresh?

Especially the 40p packets of biscuits from supermarkets. I seem to waste as much on tin foil attempting to keep the packets fresh.

I put mine in a Tupperware with food grade silica gel packs from Amazon. The packs made a lot of difference.

I have one large tupperware box which doesn't work. Replacing it seems expensive.

Ikea has a 1.9 litre glass jar with an airtight lid for the same price as three silicone lid things (only one of which would probably for a pack of biscuits)

Good call 👍👍

I put each pack in an Ikea freezer bag (usually the middle sized (grey) ones but use blue if they’re a large pack of biscuits. Keeps them fresh for a good few weeks!!

I think sugar cubes do the same thing.

I use those sistema lunchboxes, which take a couple of packs of biscuits.
