FoodSaver vacuum sealer, used but in great shape for just $5.41 - sales tax included. Cheapest I could find it on ebay was $25.00; Amazon wanted $50.00, so I'm pretty happy about this purchase. It's just a basic model, I didn't want to buy new/sink big money into one with all the bells and whistles until I knew for sure I was really going to like it/use one. What can I say now I'm addicted; I want to vacuum seal everything in sight. Food for the kids, first aid supplies, catnip for Monte the Magnificent... People better watch what they put down because if I run out of stuff of my own I might just start nabbing up theirs to vacuum seal/get my fix. Now I'm off to price FoodSaver bags or similar by the caseload. I think if I buy them in bulk I might be able to get ready made bags for almost as cheap as buying the plastic by the roll and hassling with hacking it up to make my own. I plan to purchases some food items in bulk and when I do I don't want to be standing around fiddling for hours with making up these stupid little bags to put it all in. I mean if I was in prison with nothing but time on my hands, I might agree to slave away making them for 10 cents an hour what for want of canteen money, but for free when I am free? - doubtful.
