container for storing bulk food?

[blue]

Hi, I was wondering what you all use to store bulk food. I have 25 pound bag of rice I want to put in a container, just not sure what to get. Thanks (I thought there was a thread about this topic, but couldn't find it)

What about this? http://www.webstaurantstore.com/3099/square-white-food-storage-containers-lids.html
I have the Cambro container I use to store rice(10lbs) and flour(20 lbs).

There are also some options I see on the King Arthur Floor website http://www.kingarthurflour.com/shop/kitchen-tools/storage

We use round restaurant containers that you can see in that first link above.

I use food grade buckets with gamma lids I have bought from Honeyville or Winco. One of the few products that are still plastic in my kitchen.

I use an old popcorn bucket (a big one, likes the ones you get at Christmas that have the cheesy-corn, caramel corn, and plain).

For rice, a trash bag or recycle bag, and in the freezer.

For dry goods (popcorn, beans, oats, lentils etc), I get 3 gallon plastic buckets from the bakery at our reg grocery store. They get them full of icing, and are more then happy to pass on the empty, and sometimes still dirty, ones to me. The plastic is obviously food grade, and I hate to buy expensive containers, - cuts into the savings of buying in bulk.

When I used to buy rice in bulk, I had a pet food container to store it.
