Mylar bags are great for long-term storage, but I find they can get a bit unwieldy if you have limited closet space. For smaller batches, I like using glass jars with tight lids; they’re easy to see through and keep pests out well. Moisture’s a real headache in apartments—do you use silica packets or something similar in your mylar bags? Keeping things organized is always a challenge; I started labeling by date and category, then stacking in crates under the bed. It’s definitely a work in progress!
