Household vacuum storage bags

I have seen the commercials for years. I finally bought a box of 3 at Target. I couldn't believe how amazing they work. I put a queen sized air mattress in one with a pretty big sleeping bag and couldn't believe the size once sealed. I probably could have put a half dozen pillows in it too. Another I put full sized stocking foot waders, hip stocking wader pants, a full top and bottom of heavy foul weather gear, 2 piece rain suit and a bomber dry top. It shrunk to the size of a full plastic grocery bag. I didn't put anything in the xl bag yet but I'm pretty sure it would take my whole walk in closet. They are amazing if you haven't used them.

Harbor Freight has some on sale now. I might take a look at them if they really work well.

They do work great, however someone advised me to put something between colors because they will bleed

I think its none acidic tissue paper but dont quote me.

On Sale

I saw they are on sale right now at Harbor Freight, not sure of quality or brand. I have some that have lost their seal and some that have kept it. The ones we have which my wife bought are not really heavy duty, if they were I would have more.
