Link: Seal in freshness, save on prices
The link above takes you to an incredible product, something that I don’t know if I could ever do without now that I’ve actually been using it. Not only will this vacuum sealer save your food stuffs and extend the life of leftovers (or perhaps ingredients that didn’t completely used), it can help you to save money at the grocery store.
Buying in bulk is just one way of saving money on the product itself. Part of this is because of the reduced packaging involved a bulk purchase. Bulk items often use only 70% or less material than their smaller, individual brothers. For example, a regular sized bag of rice might use 10 cubic inches of material, while the bulk size would only use 7 cubic inches of material or less. This reduction in packaging material cost is passed on to the consumer in the manner of reduced price per quantity.
Where the FoodSaver Pro III really helps is the ability to take perishable bulk products and divide it into smaller sizes for storing. After dividing your bulk item, say a 10-pound tube of case-packed hamburger, into 1-pound portions, place the smaller portions into the sealer bags and then vacuum seal the contents. This extends the refrigerator shelf life, or reduces the chance of freezer burn in a deep freezer stored for a long period. This vacuum sealer isn’t only for refrigerated or freezer items. You can also use the storage canisters to store chips, spices and herbs, flour, and even tea or coffee! Anything that you can fit into the hard-sided canisters can be preserved to extend their shelf life.
I have used this product to help bring down my grocery costs. By taking on a membership at Sam’s Club (or your local wholesaler store), obtaining a deep freezer, and this vacuum sealer, you’ll be able to recover the costs of these items in less than a single year simply by improving the life of food stuffs and decreasing purchase costs per quantity by buying bulk.
