    Vacuum seal recommendations?

    Trying to find a good vacuum sealer for F/T rodents that isn't crazy expensive. I tried this one out (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1) but returned it because it wouldn't vacuum seal. Anyone have one they recommend?

    I've been using a FoodSaver V2222 for almost 4 years now and it's been great. Looks like the current model is V2244: https://www.amazon.com/FoodSaver-Vac...5312451&sr=8-1

    Try OfferUp... I got one with bags on there for like 20 bucks. I however have found it takes a long time to do and have recently gone the Ziploc route. It lets me choose a few at a time. If its long term storage (more than a week) then I will vacuum seal.

    I don't have mine anymore (accidentally dropped it on the ground) but foodsaver that I got at costco was my go to for sealing. I really need to get another one. Don't waste money on those sous vide kits for sealing as the bags are just stupid expensive.

    Thanks guys! I'll try out a food saver. Hoping my freezer will eventually look like a bit more organized horror show, lol.

    Just don't buy FoodSaver brand bags. Get them here for less than half the cost.
