      If you have no storage space anywhere, it obv won’t work for you.

      I buy a bag, split it into gallon ziplock bags, and store it in a Behren’s can (galvonized metal, pest proof) in my basement, refilling my small pantry containers. I also have 40 lbs of pizza flour and a 25 lb bag of rice.

      I make my own pancakes, waffles, rice-a-roni, pizza, calzones, there are zero mixes in the house.

        Yeah, I’ve got 800 sqft in my place and 7ft ceilings to deal with. It’s a galley kitchen that’s just barely wide enough to open the oven door.

        Poverty is expensive. I’d love a bigger house.

  Case in point. If you’re buying a 2 pound flour bag you’re scamming yourself lol
