Default Food storage and other kitchen issues - Advice/wisdom for a Northerner?

Hello!

I'm moving in next week and my thoughts have turned to the storing of pantry items.

Up north, I thought nothing of storing my flour in the original bag, in the pantry....pasta, cornmeal, dried dog food....same.

I'm led to believe that I must re-think my strategy, here.

I am lucky to have purchased a place that has a large upright freezer in the garage.

Would it be wise to store flour, etc, there?

Or is it sufficient to find and use good quality airtight containers, and leave that sort of thing in the pantry?

Any thoughts on this....or any other kitchen-related Florida issues that might blindside a new arrival....will be deeply appreciated.

Thanks, in advance
