For storage containers:

http://www.usplastic.com - I've bought from US Plastic
several times. They are happy to sell to individuals and
are very good people to deal with. They carry the
ubiquitous 5-gallon buckets, gamma lids, many storage jars
and other storage containers. I keep my flours in
containers I bought from them, also dog food, oatmeal, etc.
I also especially like the clear-plastic square pinch-back
jars that hold 64 oz. - very useful for dry foods, beans and
the like. US Plastic also sells various sized drums, and 55
gallon barrels (USDA approved for food storage).

Thank you, Pat. This is *exactly* the kind of input I was looking
for. A couple of these I already knew of, but the rest I haven't seen
before.

Ditto on US Plastics.
I particularly like the:
Leakproof, Airtight Storage Container:
#75046 13 Gallon Storage Container 14" x 14" x 20" @ $35.80
for bulk stuff like wheat and rice. Has the Gamma Seal lid built
in.

Prefer open head drums for ease of cleaning.
