What do you keep your dry goods in? My stuff is currently in ancient tuperwear and I want something new!

My DH is in love with Lock & Lock containers, so we've switched over to those for all our dry good storage.

Oggi stainless steel canisters with glass lids. I bought mine at TJ Maxx and a kitchen outlet store but Target carries them too. Walmart also carries stainless canisters that look EXACTLY like the Oggi's but labeled with their own name. They look so much alike I really question whether they're made by Oggi too. But Walmart doesn't have the largest size canister.

Mine are like this http://www.amazon.com/Oggi-Stainless-Steel-Airtight-Canister/dp/B000BGZHFQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1257432324&sr=8-1 but I bought them individually rather than in a set so that I could get multiples of the largest size (which works best for 5 lb bags of flour and sugar).

We use glass containers from IKEA. They have a good seal, and the price is right.

Only problem I've had is, now that DD wants to help cooking sometimes, it'd be nice to have something unbreakable.

ETA: I have about 10-12 jars, three big ones for sugar, white and wheat flour. Smaller ones for bulk beans, rice, lentils, random grains. My brown sugar is oh so elegantly stored in the original packaging, inside a ziploc...

I have a set of Pfaltzgraff canisters that match my dishes that I keep on my kitchen counter. They seal very tight - love them!

I use oxo pop containers for all my baking stuff. I bought the largest size so it would hold a five pound bag of flour. It is polycarbonate but since I'm not heating anything in it I'm fine with that and I find their polycarbonate stronger than other stuff I've tried before.

yeah, we use Lock & Lock containers too. They are the best for keeping dry goods fresh.

I have a variety of size Michael Graves canisters from Target that have an air tight seal. They stack well on my counter and I like that they are clear so I can see when I need to restock.

I also have one of those brown sugar bears that you moisten and throw in with the brown sugar to keep it soft. Works great.
