A grop of us ladies recently started food storage. I understand that beans. noodles, pasta, etc does not have to have the oxygen taken out. We started talking to the LDS church ladies to get hints, etc to store food, as their church teaches them, they'v e been doing it for y ears. I just store my beans, noodles, sugar, pasta in the buckets in the regular packages they come it. Hope this helpa.

An obvious off-topic question.., but here goes. I've got several white plastic buckets (that used to hold a variety of icings/jellies etc. from a local bakery). I've washed them, rinsed etc. and am now storing pastas, beans and the like in them. They seal fairly well, but quite frankly I'd feel better if I could actually suck all the air out of them. Isn't there a way I can do this without having to purchase dry ice or lots of mylar bags/oxygen absorbers? I figured with all the brilliant minds we have on this list I'm sure that somebody has been able to do this successfully.would you please share? TIA Lisa
