Can someone recommend a set of space-efficient lock top plastic canisters?

I have a set of Lock-n-Lock canisters and I hate them. They are sloped on the top and have a pop up opening that's not big enough to really put a measuring cup into, so I have to take the entire top off every time I use them anyway. They are awkward to work with and store and aren't especially air tight.

I'm looking for a set of tall rectangular ones. They need to be big enough for entire bags of flour and sugar.

Does anyone have a recommendation?

Thank you.

I have purchased the Food Network containers at Kohl's. I like the quality better than L&L. If you use coupons, etc., you could get a very good deal at Kohl's.

I have the Sistema brand of containers and love them. You can find them at Marshall's, TJ Max and Home Goods a lot cheaper than other places. There is a size that fits the flour sack perfectly and comes with a measuring cup. I think you will be hooked once you try them!

I didn't even realize Kohl's sold kitchen items. I have one so close I can walk to it, but the couple of times I went for something I ran in and ran out. I have to take a closer look. Thank you.
