Gee, it still comes that way here! Perhaps it was a plastic rather than
waxed paper bag inside the cardboard box, but it certainly wasn't
resealable.

I store my brown sugar in a plastic canister that one local supermarket
chain sells their store brand shortening in. Just the same size as the
Crisco cardboard canisters, and very useful for storing other things when
the shortening is gone.
