We use plastic bulk containers to keep the 2 weeks food in. Probably not as air tight as a bucket, but can fit 2 weeks food for 3 people in one. Any dry stuff like pasta, sugar, flour, oatmeal, etc goes in zip bags. As the food is used the zip bags then can be used for other things - like water storage. The containers when full are a bit heavy to handle, depending on how much canned goods are put in.

I would suggest that you store all dried food in coke bottles, fill them up and tap it down, they will tap down a few times before they are full

This form of storage is excellent, the bottle store well, either standing or lying down, the bottles dont degrade so you could store outside

We use them for Rice, oats and dried soups, some are stored inside some outside
