I use them for storing pasta (I go through a lot), flour, sugar, etc. As long as it has a good seal it will keep out the bugs that like to get into these things.

I use one to keep my curlers and hair supplies in. Then I keep it on a shelf in my bathroom closet.

Every Halloween I buy 7 tubs of pretzels for the kids. I give them away to other crafters or anyone that wants them for storage.

They make great pet food storage containers, otherwise my glutton cat eats a hole in the bag and gets fat.
