I was raised doing that very thing and still do. I put sugar (brown and white), flour and cornstarch all in the freezer.

It was my assumption that we did that to keep the bugs away (if their ever were any that is) and nearly 55 years later I still to it to this day and have yet to see a bug in any of it.
