Last year we finally bit the bullet and purchased a stand-alone freezer. Now we can purchase our meats in bulk. However, ziplock bags don’t protect the meats as well I had hoped. I found the  Automatic Food Saver and decided to try it out. So HAPPY!! Not only does the food sealer have a great warranty but it’s also very affordable. I am so thrilled that I can make a Costco run just once a month instead of every two weeks. A Little Trial and Error Once we got the hang of sealing meal-size servings for The Husband and myself the process was super quick and easy! (granted I was only holding the camera, still, The Husband made quick work of sealing items) One very nice feature of the FoodSaver is the bag well. There is no need to find a place to store the bags. I LOVE the bag well!! Tucked in the lid is the bag cutter. The cutter is nice and sharp and makes quick work of getting the bags cut to the perfect size. We still need more practice getting the bag size right. But, super easy!! After you cut the bag The sealer sucks out…
