Yes, you said flour and sugar in the OP, but then you asked another
question.... if I consider four pounds to be a lot.? I could not be
sure. I have been married long enough not to expect that an incomplete
question refers to the same subject as an early one. ;-)


FWIW I do not think 4 pounds is a lot of sugar. It is about what I
usually have on hand. If I get down to 2-3 pounds I replenish. I would
consider four pounds of flour to be an absolute minimum. I buy AP flour
in 10 kg bags... 22.5 lb., so my bin has to be at least big enough for
that. I have a smaller one for the kitchen cupboard that holes about 20
cups.
