I believe that most Preppers start off with storing rice. I mean as soon as I "woke up" I went straight to the store and bought several boxes and 10lb bags before I realized I could buy it in bulk. I now buy 20lb bags at Sams Club because I can't pass up the price-$6.37! 
Now, I store my rice among other dry goods different ways.
*mason jars
*mylar bags in buckets
*food saver bags in dark tubs
I figure that if I'm already storing up mason jars why not have food in those jars. (I do keep extra on hand at all times for emergency canning) Mylar bags in buckets for long term storage and food saver bags in dark buckets or tubs for short to long term storage.
❗️Always store long term food in DARK containers even if they are in a bag ❗️ Sunlight is the enemy 🌞
Thanks for reading!
💡Remember you can buy prepackaged long-term food storage but it can be expensive.
