I brought that one into work and we use it every day. Even cheeses shrink wrapped and oxygen free keep longer. They really are useful. Recently I bought the big behemoth vacuum chamber sealer and I can freeze things and never, ever get freezer burn. Worth the $$$ if you ask me.

If vacuum-sealing the more perishable things made them last appreciably longer, I would maybe use them another time instead of throwing them away. But I, too, have to decide if the $100+ price point is actually worth it. Ooh, spoooooooky! :-p

I had not even thought of it before. Thanks for the links, too.
