My first investment was the foodsaver vacuum sealer. I enrolled in auto-ship for these 11x16 Vacuum Seal Rolls and it is the best investment I have made. I stay supplied with bags. I'm one who unpacks everything once I get it from the grocery store, so these handy babies are always there for me. My foods stay preserved in the freezer without freezer burn like the regular store wrapped packages end up. When I take food out of my freezer to cook, no ice chips, no freezer burn, just as fresh as it was the day I purchased. These are super great.
