I just have a pretty basic Food Saver model.....I can also use it to seal mason jars (with beans/rice, etc) ....

I bought it after my 20 year old model finally quit working. :-)

Yes....I use it very often.

This is what fills our freezer, with meats (beef, chicken) and many veggies.

Keeps them good MUCH longer than store packaging would....beef, at least two years....chicken...over a year.....veggies even longer....so far.

We like grass fed beef, so, when its on sale, I stock up (roasts, steaks, ground beef, etc.)

Had to run outside. A military helicopter is circling our area. Flying low. If it continues to circle I'll try to take a picture.

Tks for information Jane.
