Tip for those wanting to store some type of food stuffs longer term than normal. Flour, sugar, rice,dry beans etc do last a long time but will succumb to bugs be sure to put the packages the store sells them in into another heavier bug proof container. I buy quantities on sale and have found the vacuum bags they make for clothing will keep them much longer without bugs finding their way in. 5 gallon pails with tight lids work too. Dry beans can be sprouted and grown for more beans as well.
