No I Am Not A Prepper

Several years ago prepping for everything cataclysmic was all the rage. While watching several of these videos the Food Saver kept reappearing as an optimal way to save food. Michael and I decided to invest in the Food Saver V3880 and paid about $170.00. It has been 2 years and we use it on a weekly basis. This is NOT the old seal a meal (which by the way they still make) from your youth. This is a great machine for a safe air tight seal. The Food Savers come in different sizes and now they come in the color white as well. Prices vary according to which unit you purchase.

We buy larger quantities of meat and divide it up to meet our needs. It makes air tight seals and has a very sharp cutting blade for bags. It is very user friendly and is very light weight and easy to store. I don't know about you but to me the prices at the grocery store are astronomical and we try to save money wherever we can. 

You can buy bags of various sizes but we like to buy a roll and make our own bags . These items can be bought in places like big box stores or even Ebay. We have found some good deals on the bags.

One of my favorite features is the ability to vacuum seal jars. It is so economical to buy large bags of rice and beans and use the jars for storage. The jars and rings can be used over and over ( I just buy new lids).

The Food Saver comes with 2 sizes to seal jars - regular and wide mouth. Just place the right size sealer to the top of the jar, attach a tube to the jar and then to the Food Saver - press a button and you have sealed jars. ( I only use this for dry ingredients) I also love the jars in my pantry - Just look at the clear jars and you know exactly what you have and how much you have.

I really do recommend this product - 5 stars! Is there a 5 star product you have been using that you would like to share with my readers? Please comment and try to stay cool in this brutal heat.
