that is a great idea bountyhunter.

and to williams post, i only have black & decker bags right now since it was a bday gift last month.

im worried about leakage because i want to stock up on some bulk foods and not worry about spoilage hopefully.

btw what about those mylar bags that are often used with sealed buckets and such?
can they be used in a food sealer effectivly or is there any reason not to use them?
