I store my sugar in Lock & Lock containers. The have gaskets around the lid that keeps all the moisture out and the sugar stays nice and soft.
Even my brown sugar stays nice this way. I have some brown sugar that I've had for 2 months and I can still pick up the container and the brown sugar moves around easily in it when I tip it.

In answer to Debbie T. about storing it in the freezer, yes it can, but depending on the container you keep it in, it will get hard. But there will not be a thing wrong with it. I used to keep mine in the freezer too until I discovered the Lock & Lock.

I recently bought sugar that came in an easy pour container. It looks like a paper carton of milk. When its empty Im just going to refill it.

Do not store your sugar in old milk containers the plastic will really not be clean and it could leech the milk into your stored stuff. Use 2 liter pop bottles. Rinse them with warm water and air dry completely.

Can sugar be kept in the freezer this way? I have 25 pounds left over from Christmas baking and I'm at a loss. Thanks.

What a great idea! I just went in and wrote "Save this" with a Sharpie on the milk carton and adjusted the cupboard shelf where I keep the sugar so I can do this as soon as the milk carton is empty. This'll be so much better than dealing with that darn bag or the cardboard carton the sugar comes in. Thanks, Maureen!

Has anyone ever done this? I don't know what your milk comes in but ours comes in plastic containers with screw on lids. I use it to store sugar! It pours easily so it is usually not too messy. It holds at least a bag of sugar.
