If you’re a baker, why bother with 5-pound bags of white flour for $3 or $4 when food warehouses and bulk-buy stores sell a 25-pound bag for $6 or $7. Yes, these bags are unwieldy, but once you get them home transfer a few pounds of flour into an easy-access container.

I bought a 5 pound bag of salt at one of the big-box warehouse stores and divvied it into gallon-size plastic bags. My husband decided to make homemade ice cream and he mistook the salt for sugar. He put a cup of salt in the recipe and failed to taste it during the entire prep and cooking process. He asked me to consult when he couldn't get the ice cream to set up properly. When I tasted it I immediately diagnosed the problem - too much salt! I now label the my transfer bags and the salt is tucked away in the back of the cupboard.
