I used to cut the top section off a large plastic milk container and set the bag of flour in the base. Now I only buy small bags, so I store them in a zip lock freezer bag.

I got one in TKMaxx. Came with a scoop for the flour too. Sorry that doesn’t really help you because they don’t stock the same stuff regularly but it is possible to get them.

I put them in clear sandwich bags, they last through multiple replacements.

In answer to your question - no I haven’t!

I got some from Lakeland. Lock And Lock? They have a flip lid piece for pouring but I don’t use it, just put the flour bag inside. They fit two in.

I have the lock n lock ones. The ones for 1.5kg bags are a bit of a squeeze for a full bag but the ones for 1kg bags are a good fit. (Mine are the shape of the flour bag rather than like the one abov

No but I put the whole flour bag into big sandwich plastic zip lock to catch any loose powder

Is the reason for wanting to fit the whole bag in so you know what type of flour it is? I just cut the name off the bag and position it against the side of the container so I can see what it is.

I use the plastic bags that come in many sizes in Ikea. It's basically an excuse to 'have' to go because I love a day out there.
