I learned about reusing (carefully cleaned and dried out) juice bottles to use to store dry foods like lentils, rice, flour, sugar, etc. I am excited to do this. I am also using milk jugs but some people would only use PETE plastic. Here are some links. https://www.thriftyfun.com/Reuse-Jugs-for-Dry-Foods.html https://theprovidentprepper.org/packaging-dry-foods-in-plastic-bottles-for-long-term-food-storage/ it should keep insects out but rodents can chew through the plastic. if you have a rodent problem you can just store the jugs of food in thicker plastic containers though
Oh nifty, I do this when backpacking to keep rice, noodles, or whatever grains and cereals I’m carrying dry, but it never occurred to me that folks might do it at home too! What bottles work/look the best I wonder? On the trail I always used Gatorade bottles because they’re a bit thicker walled.
I think juice bottles or anything made of PETE plastic would work best, it seems milk jugs are less good but I am using them because I have a lot and need to
