Pancakes are cheap food that every student should know how to make in his/her own room. Here's some advice about how to do this. Buy pancake mix that specifically says "Complete" on the box. That means you only need to add water. I suggest that you buy a large 5lbs box like this, because it's the most economical. A large OXO food storage container is useful to keep the mix sealed and away from pests. Also buy one of these Bisquick Shake-n-pour bottles so that you can reuse the bottle if you've got a fridge to store any extra batter. A little spritz of cooking spray is all you need for pancakes or waffles, but you may need to add some cooking oil to the batter for waffles in order for them to brown, crisp, and release from the iron. Non-stick electric skillets are easy to find. Amazon will probably have same-day prime delivery to your room. Students can sign up for Amazon prime for free. The trick for pancakes is to use very little oil and medium-low temp. Wait for the bubbles to rise on the surface of the pancakes twice, using a spatula to check the edge for burning. It's better to start with low heat and only gradually increase it to speed up cooking as you learn the proper setting to keep it on for multiple pancakes. The items I linked are just examples. Feel free to use whatever similar items that you find instead.
Never ever in the freezer. It will destroy your beans, guaranteed.
I used the largest size of this OXO food storage container, purchased from TJ Maxx when that kind of stuff goes on sale (usually before college kids move into dorms).
I put the bulk of my 5-pound-bag into the large container and then I have another container about 25% the size that I put enough coffee for about two weeks in.
This means that I only break open the bulk of the coffee about 4-5 times, although keeping it mostly sealed is less important than having a cool, dry and dark place (some specially made containers and most retail coffee bags are actually designed to allow for the exchange of off-gas and fresh air).
But never ever in the freezer.
I was looking at this OXO Good Grips POP Big Square 5-1/2-Quart Storage Container
I'd probably need two... Throw a couple Boveda packs in there and boom.
I use this. The lid is closed really tight so no moisture to worry about. It can hold about 4 bags of Soylent.

I've been using these containers to keep my coffee beans fresh:

Buy toddy bags (20 for $20) or a coffee sock (~$15) and use a large container. Something like this works well OXO Good Grips POP Container – Airtight Food Storage – 5.5 Qt for Bulk Food (5.5 Qt) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000VJ4560/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_vDqUBb3JSHX6E
I just got some knockoff from TJ maxx for like 12 dollars. Makes enough concentrate for a week at a time and total should only cost like 35 all together. Those all in one carafes I’ve found to be pretty bad as the metal filers leave a lot more sludge and are a pain to clean.
