Think they carry sizes 2L up to 20L. Cambro brand, would have lids too.
We purchased a bunch of them new when a friend of ours did an order, but we need something more immediately available. Will look into those ones, I like the fact that they are clear.

Tell me, have you ever seen anyone go out of a grocery store with 8 large bags of flour?

There is a reason for that unless one has a large family, bakes a lot, or runs a commercial business.
It costs less than half of what it costs normally us to buy large bags of the flour ingredients, so even if half goes bad we have saved the hassle of having to go buy new stuff every couple weeks. It is also being shared with multiple families, hence the need to have it separated into appropriate bins.

You might be right though, and if we don't end up being able to use more than half of it, we likely won't repeat the purchase, or find more people to share it.
