Get this one:

FoodSaver V4840 2-in-1 Vacuum Sealer Machine with Automatic Bag Detection and Starter Kit

Then get one of these:

FoodSaver Regular Sealer and Accessory Hose Wide-Mouth Jar Kit

You can buy mason jars at the grocery store and use this gadget to vacuum seal the jars. I put sauces, rice and other dry goods, and even open cans (like those small chipotle pepper in adobo sauce) in them, and then seal them up for later.
