Large (LARGE!) storage containers - any ideas..?

Because we use so much of it, I tend to buy rice and flour in bulk (25 kg bags) - any ideas where I can find good sealable containers to store such large amounts? I really want something a bit better than my current large paper/canvas bags..

John Lewis do a click and seal set... or something like that. I have some very large storage containers from there.

Your local hardware store or if not there a large supermarket.

Thanks, I'll try those..! (John Lewis' website shows containers up to 5 liters - maybe they do bigger ones in their shops?)

try The Really Useful Box Company

they do a huge range of sizes, and there's no reason why you couldn't use them for storing food!

They are fanatastic quality- we've got loads of them!

(And I'm in no way connected to the business!)

Thanks Tissy, those look really good..! (Looking at the website I can actually think of a hundred other things lying around the house that would be brilliant to have boxes for..)

Just want to add I got those from WHSmith (They had a 3 for 2 offer) and they're fab. I use then for loads of things. Food wise keep crisps and treats in but sure would work for flour.

WHS don't do the full range of sizes, though!

I did get my first couple from there, then searched for their website.!

Yes - I was going to come on here and recommend the Really Useful Box Company, but Tissy's beaten me to it.

Asda had some really large containers today - didn't see the price though but I am very tempted to go back and get some tomorrow for DS's toys
