Vacuum Sealer Bags

Anyone out there use a food saver / vacuum sealer have a good source for the bags? They are not cheap and was hoping someone out there has done some legwork for me...

Thanks in advance

I buy mine at Kohl's but only when they are onsale at a big discount which Kohl's does periodically. I like the rolls you cut to size better than the bags as often a small item , like one steak , doesn't need a whole bag.

I like going with the rolls as well,I've found that BJ's has them pretty cheap,you can buy one lot from them and you're good for a year.

Live bait sharp hooks and timing is all you need

I use the roll and always make the bag long so I can get a 2nd use out of it. Turn them inside out and put them through the washer -

All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men do nothing.

We get them at Bed Bath & Beyond. Make sure to use the coupon that comes in the Sunday paper every other week or so.

I get mine at BJs too. I reuse my bags at least once and the rolls last a long time.

I actually had a couple cheap ones and really love the high end one I got from Cabelas. I put up groundfish, venison, meat bought in bulk and make about 100lbs of sausage a year. So far 3 years and no issues. It was expensive and I watched the sales and used a coupon.

Thought it would be a good one. I'll keep a look out

The FoodSaver website frequently has deals. That's where mine and a couple as gifts came from.
