I ordered some vacuum containers last year and they tossed in a
FoodSaver for free then too. Gave it to our son and his family. I had
registered for emails the year before that. It's a good move sometimes.

Good price on the rolls. I generally buy mine on eBay from Christian's
Cabinet of Curiosities, an 8 inch by 50 foot roll of his variety is
about 20 bucks but I occasionally find a set of two each 8 inch and 11
inch for a reasonable price. I think there are about 4 rolls of each in
the pantry now.

I forget the actual price but Target is usually quite good for the rolls.

That's good price for the 8" size. Bed, Bath, and Beyond has both
sizes, the 11" rolls are $19.99 for a box of two and a 20% off coupon
will knock off $4. The $5 off $15 or more is even better.

Kohl's is a good place to find them when they are on sale plus an
additional 15-20% off coupon.

I love the FoodSaver I inherited from my MIL but was seriously bummed
when I found out the bags were made in China. At Bi-Mart today, I
found a brand called ZipVac that is made in the US - woot! An 11"
wide roll was $5.99 - less than FoodSaver but hopefully, the quality
is as good.

I found my food saver and my bags at the good will. about 2 years
apart!! don't know where they were made, but I'll check. Made in
china bags would scare me. thanks for the idea.

I have the Solent (Snorkel), recommended to me by Howard Bricker. Not sure
where the bags are made, but I bought enough to outlast me!
