Most people think vacuum sealing is straightforward and while that is mostly true, there are some challenges that go along with this method of food preservation. Not all sealers are created the same just as not all vacuum sealing bags are the same.

Vacuum sealing is one of the first food preservation methods we started using to help stretch the food budget and keep us from throwing freezer burnt food out if we didn’t eat it soon enough. What I wasn’t expecting was just how much money this would ultimately save!

There are some great tips and tricks to help you seal your food right the first time, every time and save you even more money with less waste.
