Yeah, PJ, you do definitely want a vacuum sealer if you don't have one yet! Love my Food Saver and the many different types of bags. I buy the rolls--8"", 11", portion pouches (11" sealed & perforated down the middle--my most-used size), and a new pleated one which I used to seal a 5# bag of frozen red hot dogs shipped to my cousin in TX as extra insurance against leaks of either hot dogs or cooler packs. Recently bought the 2 sizes of canning jar sealers and love them already! Use that for packaging kale chips & jerky for Christmas gifts, keeping brown sugar moist...The bags even work well for rolls--freeze, vacuum seal, & poke a hole in the bag as soon as you take it out of the freezer. Not sure if the hole's necessary, but figured the pressure in the bag would squish baked goods as they thawed.
