Just a tip that I learned from a Popcorn vendor at our Farmer's market. Let's say you bought a large bag of Carmel corn. What you don't eat that day place in a gallon freezer bag and put it in the freezer. Taste, texture and freshness will not change, you can eat it directly from freezer. 😊😯

Blessings Jinne from warming up Chicago. I put diatomaceous earth in a bowl and mix my rice, beans and pastas, then I vacuum seal them in one cup portions in a lunch bag in side vacuum bags. My biggest issuse is being in a very warm apartment where we have no control over the heat. I've had bugs before from food bank items in bags, like flour and grits. I repackage everything now because it has become easier to store in containers on shelves, for me. I'm a single retired 70 year old. I don't have a lot but I have more than enough for a few years.

It does not need to be vacuum sealed but it does need to be sealed in an air tight container for long term. we have both iodized and canning. we live 2-3 days from any ocean and my spouse hates fish, so we need the iodized salt to prevent goiters and other thyroid problems.

I'm surprised you didn't mention "Bay leaves", they are very affected to keeping bugs away or from spouting... I think it just depends on the conditions of your area because I have dried beans that I got over 10 years ago still in their original packages inside one of those ice cream containers just sitting around and I used some to make some chili a few months ago and had no issues cooking them... I have tons of dried beans in their original packages in 5-gallon buckets and rice too, both with Bay leaves in the bucket.... Thought about putting them in a old car we have sitting outside and since the temps here have been below freezing maybe that would be like freezing it in the freezer? Our oatmeal is in a Mylar bag in a 5-gal bucket. Not disclaiming what you are saying because you are 100% correct and for that I thank you.

We vacuum sealed Pinto Beans in 2018 (quart jars) and they've been great ... But I came across one last week which had the seal broken and it took FOREVER for those darn beans to cook .. Luckily it was on the wood stove so I didn't burn up extra electricity on the range but Lord - You're right ... F O R E V E R !!!

Put baking soda in beans you’re cooking and they will cook regularly, if they are old.

When you say vacumn seal are you using mylar bags? I am a little confused because I thought vacumn sealing things like oatmeal would extend storage but mylar would be longer. I am new to this and want to get it right. Listening to you is like having a friend in the room so thank you very much. Love your shopping finds. Stay well

I have a lot of Bear Creek soups, instant potatoes, gravy mix and onion soup. Can they be put into a bucket in their packaging? Aren’t they like Mylar bags? Do I need to put them in a Mylar bag with oxygen absorbers? Thank you
