Try Consolidated Plastic for food safe buckets (various sizes) with gamma lids. They don’t sell the Mylar bags afaik but those are easily found online. If you’re considering the OXO Pop containers, reconsider-they are trash. Not dishwasher safe (the ones I bought about five years ago, this may have changed) and definitely not air tight.

Came to say the same about the buckets and gamma lids. Pricey for what they are but they work well. I love large wide-mouth jars and my vacuum sealer attachment for smaller amounts of dry goods but if you need to store 20lbs of Flour, the buckets are the way.

Oxo pop is terrible. Bought one to store my dog food and the top broke in, no joke, a week.

Thank you. Dishwasher safe is not a concern for us. We just want to store dried goods. Rinsing then out should be good enough. Oh I thought they seal airtight based in the reviews. Do you have a link to the ones you're talking about?

I bought the set from Costco. I don’t know what people are thinking is airtight, but those aren’t. Even with the lids “popped” or “sealed” they are easily lifted open. They feel flimsy compared to the buckets I have now. I hated them and gave them away after six months.
