Perfect for a 5-lb bag of flour! And other dry goods.
I'm so glad that I found these jars here in Amazon. I first saw them at the Bed bath & beyond website selling for $10 and I've been wanting to get them but just had no time to go to their store. I bake a lot so I prefer having the flour out in the countertop. These jars can hold a 5-lb bag of flour and I keep them right in front of my rolling space so I won't need to move the jars around as they're heavy when full. The lid doesn't seal so it's not advisable to store sugar, as well as anything that goes stale really quick, in them. I do use one for cookies but my husband devours them really fast and the cookies don't even have a chance to get stale.
All in all, I highly recommend this product. They're made in the USA and I support Anchor Hocking for that. I hope they keep making quality products for years to come.
**TIP: This jar sells for under 7 bucks at Walmart and Target. The 2-gallon jar is available there too for 10.
