I vacumm my stuff with in food saver bags cut to fit inside the mylar. Vacuum them with the machine with a oxygen absober and then seal the mylar with an old iron and a piece of scrap 2X2. Also you can get an attachement and vacuum seal canning jars as well! I use that to vacuum stuff I only need to use a little at a time. I did spices, dehydrated peppers, Nestle Quick (Makes Podwered milk drinkable!)I brought a dehydrator and dehydrate a lot of frozen vegteables and then put them in the jar with a oxygen absorber and the vacuum them shut!

Any recommendations for a brand of vacuum sealer?
That looks awesome. I have a lot of canning jars that I store stuff in.
