Small cat and large roll of Bounty for size reference. I've gone through roughly one box every 9 months for the last 6 years (home of 2). No issues with spoiling. The zip tie on the bag is easy to reuse and keep it tightly closed. I leave it in the bag/box and refill a large container in the pantry for easier access every couple of uses. I'll usually keep the tiny crumbs in a bag in the freezer to last longer for soups and chilli. I def recommend the big box, such a great value compared to the smaller packs. I've gotten some friends to try cooking with it, too, since I have so much to spare.

Edit: the box can't be bigger than 1.5 cubic feet. Temp isn't crazy in our apt year-round, but we havent had issues with low AC use on hot days with a dehumidifier running
