You've used glass storage jars on a bike trip?  I can see why you're looking for alternatives.
My old staple of 35mm film containers are getting a bit thin on the ground these days but I still have 10 or 15 that I use for dry stuff (salt, sugar (I don't use much), herbs / spices/ tea bags / coffee etc). They all then get stored inside a tupperware type box for double protection. The amount in a film container is usually ok for a long weekend / a week at a pinch but for longer trips I either use small plastic boxes (Poundland), buy locally or change my diet.
Plastic bags are ok if you then store them inside a tupperware type box - and then pad the interior so nothing can move around. Unless you're using thick plastic it's very easy to tear or puncture plastic bags when you're using them.
