I don't know why everyone wants to make this so complicated.



Even easier - if it comes in a bag in a box, keep the plastic bag closed with a wide rubber band, such as the type that comes with a bunch of kale. No need for an extra container. I've never had a problem. If it only comes in a bag, you can double the band as many times as needed.
