Sick of hand washing ziploc bags and paper coffee filters only

7. Get a low cost vacuum sealer machine.

Buy the big rolls to reduce waste and cut your bags to size. You'll save lots of money because you won't need to triple bag anything ever again.

They work with most foods I've tried, both fresh and leftovers. Mash the contents flat to get the most storage space in your freezer. Many foods like veggies and leftovers can stay in the bags for cooking or reheating in boiling water.

Portion out chicken parts, ground meats, fish fillets, sausages and brats, meatballs, chops and steaks, they will stay perfect in their vacuum sealed bags.

I wash some of the larger bags for reuse, not so much ones that held meats, but produce, pastries, rolls and bread works great. I use some clips to hold the bags open on the top rack of the dishwasher so I can get a couple more uses out of them.
