23 Cup Tupperware Canister

I purchased my Tupperware Canister years ago when I was attending a Tupperware party. It is a pretty large container, but it does fit easily on the lowest shelf in my pantry.

I do love Tupperware! When I store anything in my Tupperware containers, I never have to worry about bugs or critters getting into my flour, sugar, cereals or mix.

    What a great money saver and gift idea. I’ll have to make some this for the coming winter season. We do drink hot chocolate with our grandchildren plenty of times during the winter. Thanks, Cynthia.
