What's a good way to store dried goods like rice, beans and pasta so you have a substantial supply that you routinely top off, while eating the oldest you have in stock?

    Five gallon food-grade buckets with good, tight, food-grade lids.

    If you’re really tight on cash, go to restaurants or bakeries and ask if they have any that they’ll give you for free. Pickle buckets are common but will need some deodorizing.

    YMMV, especially since I live in an arid climate so don't have to worry about things like mold. We just use bins to store things like rice. We keep pasta in the packaging it comes in. Haven't had any issues with food going bad over the years.
