Lock n lock - size for sugar & Flour??

What size L&L would be perfect for 5 lbs sugar and 4 lbs Flour?? Don’t want to buy the whole set and try to guess!

Can you give me which ones hold the bags of flour and sugar?? Can’t find these sets I’m looking for!

@qvc chick  A 5 lb. bag of AP flour contains between 17 and 18 cups. A 5 lb. bag of sugar contains about 11 to 12 cups of sugar. Most L&L containers are listed in cups capacity. I keep all my flours in L&L, but I just keep sugar in my Domino's sugar container I got years ago. 

ETA: I also keep my brown sugar in L&L along with my sugar bear.

I bought this set 4 years ago and went back and bought another one (K47535). Not available right now, but maybe as "baking season" begins again. My whole pantry is L and L.

Be right back...gonna look up what a sugar bear is...i may die of cute-overload....

 

Ah, i see it is something you put in with your brown sugar to keep it from hardening. Adorable.

 

I live in Sarasota, FL. My sugar never hardens, always humid here.

@qvc chick- I keep my flour and sugar in the set of 4 L&L tall cannisters.  They are square so you can get a scoop inside to measure and they keep the sugar soft for a long time.  I don't know the item # but if you type in L&L tall canisters, the # will come up.  I've had them for about 12 years and that's all I use.  I have 2 sets and use them for oatmeal, brown sugar, different kinds of flours, etc.

Search LocknLock Easy Essentials Food lids/Pantry Storage/Airtight containers, BPA Free, Square on Amazon. 

I use the 11 cup for sugar, brown sugar & powdered sugar. I use the 5.5 cup for turbinado sugar.  

They have the 18.8 cup you can use for flour. 

I use a Progressive ProKeeper for my flour.

I have the tall canister set, but NOT the nestables.  They're perfect for bags of flour and can easily fit two bags of sugar. I also have the medium canisters for cocoa powder and those things that I purchase in smaller quantities.

 

Both of the items I mentioned seem to sell out immediately.  I think they usually restock them in January.
