Vacuum Sealing System….
They certainly hit the nail on the head when naming their product!
I have had a FoodSaver® for MANY years now. It has been an invaluable accessory in my kitchen.
Not only does it save me money, it saves me time during the week.
After I go to the grocery store on Sunday, I prep and vacuum all the things that I will be freezing.
[rss-cut]
I love to buy meat in bulk. Without literally “sucking all the air out” of the package, my meat would eventually get freezer burn and I would end up throwing food away. Talk about a waste of money!
.
There are soon many other things you can vacuum seal..here are some examples…
Coffee Beans
Ice- Yes ice…So when it melts, you won’t have a watery mess in your cooler.
Pancakes
Beans
Meat
Cheese
Veggies
Fruit
And so much more
And think about it, you can vacuum seal non-food related items as well.
Think of all your precious valuables that you may not want to get wet or for air to damage it.
Family photos
Scrapbook creations
Silver Jewelry- air=’s tarnish
First-Aid kits when you are out in the wilderness in fear of it getting wet.
Your Cell phone- Obviously once you cut into the bag, it will no longer be water tight.
The FoodSaver® brand also sells canisters that you can use. You attach the accessory hose from the vacuum sealer into the canister and remove the air. You instantly have an air-tight, airless container.
We eat chicken A LOT in my house. I love buying whole chicken and cutting them up into 8th’s for later use.
I use the roll bags and cut my own bags to size. It’s super simple to do.
Just cut your bag to the size you would like +3 inches.
You are going to place one end of your bag into the grey chamber.
Move the side switch to “operate” on press “seal”.
The FoodSaver® will make a humming noise and the seal light will go off as soon as the bag is ready.
Now one end of the bag is sealed. You see the clear line about 1/4″ down?
Now place a piece of chicken in the bag and place the unsealed end into the grey chamber and close the lid. Move the side switch to the operate position and press the lid down.
.
And there you have it…a whole chicken cut up with less risk of the dreaded freezer burn!

Healthy eating is $! For us, close to $250 a week and that doesn’t include the orders from Amazon or Target or other specialty stores!

College student with a meal plan, probably around 30$ a week. Would be great to get more food in bulk and have a way of freezing it.
Weekly food bill? Too much!! 🙂
Commenting again for additional entry. It is so hard with grocery money with having 3 small boys belly kept full and a dad of those boys
We vary between $175-$250 a week on groceries for four of us, two of us super picky young eaters and two of us need wine and beer to cope with said pickiness. If we hit Trader Joe’s, it’s on the lower end but if we go to Safeway or QFC it’s higher. And we tend to eat out on weekends, which I didn’t include in that estimate.
For our family of 3 our average grocery bill is about $150.
