As you might guess, we make a lot of bread at our house. We get all of the flour for our bread at Costco. Costco sells it in 50 pound bags. (Flour procurement is a job for Mr. Diva as I’m not sure I could manage such a heavy, unwieldy item.) While we love our bread, it does take us months to go through the entire 50 pounds. So what do we do in the meantime?
It fits into two five-gallon buckets with no problem. These are food grade buckets that store the flour with no loss of quality that we’ve noticed.
But what about yummy whole wheat? That won’t last for months without refrigeration, will it?
That’s a good point. However Mr. Diva is not a fan of whole wheat. We buy small bags of wheat flour at the grocery store and it lasts us a long, long time.
What brands of bread flour do they sell at Costco and at what cost? I’m thinking of getting a membership there.
Aaron – Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. I was waiting for our next Costco run before replying. We went on Monday (January 4th) and we got a 50 pound bag of ConAgra bread flour. We paid $14.59 so that’s 29 cents a pound.
