What do you guys use to store various dry food staples?

We are getting tired of all these random bags of rice, oats, lentils, sugar, flour, etc. cluttering the pantry. Looking for recommendations!

I use canning jars because I tend to have them on hand. But, if you're spending money to buy something, consider that square/rectangular containers use space more efficiently.

After a bad experience with pantry moths, almost everything goes into a non-paperboard container.

We use Oxo POP containers. Stack pretty well in our pantry and no problem with pests or spoiling.

Quart and pint deli containers. Cheap and stackable. Just label them with a sharpie.

Very fond of the Progressive ProKeeper containers. I've had a few different types over the years including glass jars, Oxo and ceramic swing tops. The progressive ones just seem to be designed better for their intended use. I love the brown sugar and powdered sugar containers so much I bought sets for my mother too.

We use the OXO pop containers for smaller things. We have large containers that I ordered on amazon to hold the huge bag of rice we get from costco.

This. Costco had a great deal on a set of them several months ago.
