WFMW - Dry Goods & Emergency Storage

I have discovered that having 5 gallon buckets with screw on lids to store my flour, sugar, and wheat in my pantry is a wonderful time and back saver. Those cannisters that sit on the counter not only, do not hold enough, but they attract dust like nobody's business! I found my buckets at WalMart. They are a little bit of an investment but well worth it.
I recently found brightly colored lids and bought one with a bucket to use for an emergency 72 hour kit. Not only can you pack a lot of stuff in it but it could be used to haul water or even as a potty if needed wherever you end up in your emergency situation. (Obviously not both!!) That's what works for me! Check out what works for other people over on Rocks in my Dryer!http://rocksinmydryer.typepad.com/shannon/2008/10/works-for-me-ch.html
