Kitt,
I also use flour and rice on a reg basis...also store in either jars or air tight plastic containers. My MIL is putting the flour in seal-a-meal vac sealed bags and freezing it.
I tried to talk to them today about it. They said they have been down this road before and they are going to be ready.
Flour I would miss if I didnt have it....but rice...not so much.....as for DH and DD they dont care about the rice either.

I just hope thier local tv station gives a updated report soon so they will stop the insanity......(accourding to her opinion the news station tells only the gospel)

her money, her deep freeze, her gas wasted on the trips to the store, and her energy used to bag up the stuff...... oh well..........
Thanks for your input everyone.........
