Count me in Penny. Hilary

Mine just go in clear plastic bins in the bulk pantry. Same thing with leftover plastic utensils, plates, and cups. While I try not to use disposable stuff often, it only takes a few events for it to start piling up. I actually just gave DIL a bunch of stuff that was left-over from her baby shower... to use at GD's 1st birthday last week. She was shocked I still had it a year later.

That would depend upon the storage environment, the type of seed, and how long you intend to store the seed. My 2 c's (well, maybe 3) ;-) Paper envelopes are good for short-term storage, and are actually the best means if the dryness of the seed is questionable. Not good if the storage environment has periods of high humidity. Paper envelopes are easy to label & many use them, but they are best enclosed in an air-proof jar, with a little desiccant. Left out in the open, seed life in paper envelopes is dependent upon the ambient environment, and can be unpredictable. If you choose to use them, store them in a location where the temperature tends to be cool & stable throughout the year, and humidity is low. Zippered storage bags are good for short to medium term storage. I store most of my seeds in them, and provided that the seed was healthy & properly dried to begin with, many seeds (such as beans, squash, cukes, and tomatoes) have at least fair germination for up to 10 years. Not all zippered plastic bags are equal. Most snack, sandwich, and storage bags allow too much air penetration, and are inferior for anything other than short-term seed storage. Freezer bags are made of thicker material, and have better zipper seals. I've used both Zip lock & Hefty, and consider both adequate for storing small seed quantities. However, I had several seal failures storing beans in Zip lock bags (dumping the whole bag unexpectedly), and the Hefty freezer bags have stronger seals, so that is all I use now. The small zippered craft bags are good for mailing seed to others (and I recommend them for that purpose to protect seeds from the elements), but if used for seed storage, I would recommend placing them in a jar, and treating them the same as paper envelopes. Plastic bags trap sunlight, so they should NEVER be placed in direct sun. Direct exposure for even a short period of time can quickly kill or injure any enclosed seeds. If planting during warm humid weather, I recommend keeping the bulk of the seed in a controlled environment. Transfer the seed to be planted into a different container (such as those paper envelopes) and quickly reseal the bag. It is helpful to roll up the bags & squeeze out as much air as possible before closing, and to pack the bags in such a way that they are unable to re-inflate. I can't over emphasize the need for the seed to be properly dried before storage in any air-tight container. If the seed has too much moisture, it will deteriorate very quickly.

maybe a hardware store like Ace, Home Depot or Lowes? I seem to recall seeing it there.
