Scroll down to the bottom of the FoodSaver homepage here, and you’ll see all sorts of colorful choices for handheld FoodSavers priced at $29.99 each. Add one to your cart, then at checkout use code N3FEAAA to drop that to $15.00 and get free shipping! I like the blue — what color are you going to pick up? 
Fuchsia, blue, red, green, or black.

I have the red one and just started using it last week after picking up some clearance meat from Dominicks. The zipper bags are hideously expensive, so does anyone have ideas on how to get them cheaper? I was happy that I was able to use some stockpiled Ziploc vacuum seal bags with the handheld FoodSaveer and they worked pretty well. I don’t see these go on sale, but I think these are cheaper with the Ziploc coupons from the inserts instead of buying 8+ FS boxes to get a 30% discount.
Have any of you been able to find a decent price on the bags? Thanks in advance for your help and ideas on this!
I used to have the Reynolds vac and bags and I LOVED THEM. Then I couldn’t get the bags at the store anymore. Then I saw they were being carried ONLY on HSN. I stockpiled a bunch. by the time I ran out, HSN stopped carrying them and suddenly they were Debbie Meyer Genius bags. Ok..same bags, ordered them. My last order they changed whatever the bags are made from. They are VERY difficult to open. Plus, they have always been really expensvie comparatively because you just can’t reuse them if you freeze meat in them. As you defrost, the juice gets into the gusset and that’s it. They never come clean to my satisfaction so into the trash they go. Granted, I still liked vacuum sealing, it’s just this was no longer going to be a good option.
Over the holiday I bit the bullet and bought a full on FoodSaver system. I finally used it this weekend when I had 7 pheasant breasts to bag up after a hunting trip. Honestly, the unit is very easy to use and takes up little counter space.
Now I haven’t used the marinating container yet. I’ve heard mixed reviews about it (too much pressure eventually causing the lid to crack). We will have to wait and see on that front.
I did one of the other deals on FoodSaver but I just did this one as well and may give as a gift. It is a great item! I ordered bags when they occasionally have a b1g1 free sale, they run sales on bags fairly frequent on their site. I am not sure if Menards still carries but they used to, wait for their 11% back deal.
This one comes with several bags and a container too which is really nice.
Included In Offer:
Charging Stand
1 Deli Container (Regular price $7.99)
5 Quart Zipper Bags
5 Gallon Zipper Bags
I got black.
That’s true, I’ve posted some of the BOGO bags before and there have been really good deals. I’ll keep my eye out for future sales on bags, too.
