You could make it into ship's biscuit. It'll keep for years, and you can always use it in soup or something.

- remmargorp64 7y agoJust brainstorming here... What would happen if you double-bagged the 50 lb bag of flour in some big Hefty garbage bags and tied them really tight? I wonder why that wouldn't work for keeping the flour fresh for at least a couple months?
- vanniv 7y agoThe big issue here is that garbage bags do not have to be food-safe. They could be made with materials that would leach harmful compounds into the food, or packaged in unsanitary conditions.
- remmargorp64 7y agoWell yeah, but I'm still keeping the flour in the paper flour sack (with it rolled up tightly), so the plastic bag encompassing it doesn't actually come in contact with any of the flour. It's just there to keep air, moisture, and bugs out.
