I have frozen flour and cake mixes before, I just put the flour in a ziploc bag so the paper bag it comes in doesn't get torn in the freezer. I usually only freeze it when I get it on sale cheap (like this time of year!) and have an extra bag or two. The cake mixes I put the whole box in, I'd think you could do the same w/ the Jiffy mixes. Sugar I would not put into the freezer--it's going to draw moisture and become a giant sugar cube!
Someone told me a long time ago that if you freeze flour it will kill the bug eggs that are in it, so if you don't use it right away it will not get bugs in it once it's been frozen. She said flour naturally has those eggs in it, that's why we often get bugs in flour and mixes that contain flour. I have no idea if that is true or not!
