We love our vacsealer. Really handy piece of equipment. We buy most of our meat bulk or primal, break it down ourselves, vac seal and freeze it. It works great to store jerky long term, too.
Not that jerky lasts around our house....

We do the same too with meat. We like the Costco ground beef, good quality, and their stew meat. We seal them up in smaller packages. Diana from Wisconsin gave me a tip about vac sealing fresh fish. I love whole rainbow trout on the grill but the Costco packages just had too many. Now I vac seal one in a bag. In the winter I’ve been splitting them in half and putting them under the broiler. A couple of years ago I found a set of 3 foodsaver storage canisters on discount. A great find. Have my flour in one of them because I just don’t go through much flour. Just took out some broccoli from our garden which was just so sweet last summer, steamed for 2 minutes, let cool and vac seal. Tastes just as good as fresh picked. Nicest surprise was vac sealing fresh herbs from the garden. I had an abundance of oregano last year. It comes out wet when it thaws but the smell when you open the bag - amazing. Works great with chopped green onions, I do smaller bags to toss in soup or a rice dish. Not vac seal related - a great way to save fresh basil is to chiffonade it, stuff in a Ziploc, add olive oil to coat, squish around and press flat so no air is in the bag. just freeze, tastes so fresh in a pasta dish or when you want fresh basil.
