My sugar goes into one of those clear plastic cubic containers rice et al come in. I also keep some in m,y bread making cupboard, and some in a salt shaker in case I want just a tad e.g. on muffins tops. Then I keep a small jar in the coffee cupboard.

I buy no more than a 2 lb. bag of sugar at a time and it lasts for months. If I do ever buy a fiver, what won't fit in all of the above containers moves to the freezer.

My 5 lb. bags of flour fit into big Rubbermaid squares.
