    On clearance from midwayusa.com.
    I got one. Sure beats ziploc for freezing meats! Sure it's not a commercial unit, but the price can't be beat.

    The bags and rolls are much cheaper on amazon fwiw.

    Vac sealers are great. I used to save it for "special occasions" because the bags aren't cheap. But you end up saving money by not throwing stuff out that gets freezer burn.

    Thanks for the heads up. I've been wanting one for awhile cause zip lock bags just don't do it. At least this'll get me started.

    I love my vacuum sealer. For 30 bucks I might even buy that one as backup in case my current one goes. I think mine is foodsaver brand. Costco has rolls cheap too.

    Aaaaaand it's now back to the regular $99. Must've been last year's model blowout sale. Now I'm kicking myself for not buying a spare. :headbang:

    damm. Sorry I missed this. I use my dads quite often but it's a pain to always be borrowing it, especially for that price.
