You might want to consider a canister set made of ceramic or glass.  I've seen them styled like mason jars with attached and separate lids with locking mechanisms to tightly seal the rubber gasket.  I've also seen various types of metal sets with glass lids and a rubber seal.  However, I do not think that I've seen one large enough to hold 5 pounds.  Maybe you will need to use 2 containers in which to divide the 5 pound into.  

Check out Bed, Bath & Beyond.  If you have a store near you, a visit might help.  I think you can order online from them and have the item shipped to the store to possibly limit the shipping charges.  You might want to also check out high end or commercial kitchen/cooking suppliers.  Williams Sonoma and their sister stores have both physical stores as well as online.  Visit URL:

Easy site to navigate with JAWS 17.  I searched for canister and came up with 150 results.  I also searched on terms like remote, Bluetooth, wireless and iPhone and came up with some interesting results.

Also check out the web Restaurant Supply Store at

The page is not fully accessible, but they do have a 24 hour customer service line.

HTH,

Hello,

Since NFB doesn’t yet have a low-tech products listserv, thought I’d start here. First, does anyone still make a Sharp talking calculator—I loved the male voice, and it was really a quality piece of equipment; or, might it be available gently-used?

Now for the extremely-low-tech question: After having my inexpensive plastic set of canisters for 20 years, and finding that it leaves a bit of an off-smell to flour, I’ve decided it’s time to part with what I have, perhaps in favor of some kind of airtight metal canister set. My prerequisites: the biggest should comfortably hold a 5-pound bag of flour; the middle-sized, a 5-pound bag of sugar; and the next, a 100-count box of tea. I’d prefer airtight, and not cheap-quality, something I can either hide in the cupboard or stack on the kitchen counter. Wish I’d thought to ask about the metal canisters and taken down some info when I saw them at a rehab center. Any suggestions about these two items, greatly appreciated, since I literally spent 2 hour plus on Amazon without success. Thanks!
