Yes, of course you can keep flour in the freezer. For whole wheat flour, which is susceptible to rancidity due to the fat from the whole grain being included, it is even recommended.
For white flour, according to the University of Nebraska Extension in Lancaster County (emphasis added):
For longer storage, keep white flours in the refrigerator in an

The wrap used in most grocery stores isn't the same as your household wrap.
Most of the consumer brands of plastic "cling" wrap are now formulated from low-density polyethylene. It's rolled very thin to give you the best price per unit of length, and has reasonable stickyness.
Most stores use a product called "meat film" which is most commonly made from ...

Short answer, yes provided you emphasize the airtightness of your storage container.
I often trust the wisdom espoused on the forums of King Arthur Flour's website, and specifically this topic on freezing flour. All commenters who report personal anecdotes with freezing flour report positive ones. The one note that should be made is that

Many modern fridges have compartments that run at different temperatures and humidity levels than the main fridge area
For a really modern look, try this fridge drawer designed and made in New Zealand :-). It matches the dish drawer and can be set to -18°C to 15°C (0°F to 59°F)

Like many Canadians I have a "beer fridge" in the basement. In this case it's an ancient fridge that once belonged to a relative. I've turned it up as warm as it can go and it makes a great "root cellar" for carrots, beets, and the like from my Community Support Agriculture winter program. However it is significantly dryer than the typical damp earth root ...

Whiskey is quite high in alcohol, on the order of 40% by volume, and is not hospitable to pathogens growing.
The flask is intended to hold liqueur, and so is made from or lined with a food safe material, such as food grade stainless steel (assuming you have one from a reputable manufacturer).
So yes, it should be fine.
Remember: when it was brewed, the ...

This sounds very much like the function of the Kimchi refrigerator, a type of refrigerator that typically features multiple compartments and sometimes has separate controls to manage each compartment's temperature separately.
Most of them can be set to fermentation temperatures around 60-68f, and then have cooler settings for long term storage. I'm not ...

Yes, they exist. They are called "drink refrigerator". Unlike a normal fridge, they don't have a freezer compartment, cheese compartment, etc. They are supposed to be used by kiosks who sell cooled soft drinks, and normally are regulated at around 15 Celsius, which is actually a bit better for some kinds of produce (e.g. tomatoes, tropical fruit) and not ...

You can certainly make a home made dry mix for waffles, but it is difficult to make one that will require only water to use.
Obviously, some of the ingredients are naturally a dry powder to start with:
Flour
Sugar (if you use any)
Chemical leaveners like baking powder or baking soda
Salt
De-hyrdated versions of dairy products are readily available, ...
