Looking to buy a food/game saver. Happen to have a gift certificat from BassPro but will buy from anywhere. Looking for a good recommendation. Anyone really happy with their brand/model? Thanks.

I got mine at Bass Pro-game saver plus. Works pretty good, the seal is not as strong as I thought it would be-as I wound up boiling 3 lbs of bbq instead of just warming it up in the hot water :blink: Think i paid around $175- would recomend

Is it fairly easy to use? Thanks.

Got one last weekend from Sams club. Foodsaver brand. Worked well on steak. I has a marinating attachment to speed up marinating.

I keep seeing the foodsaver brand everywhere I look. Thanks.

I have THIS one from Bed, Bath & Beyond. At the top of the page go to Email Sign up and sign up for email and direct mail coupons. They do not send out a lot of junk mail and the coupons are worth getting. When you sign up they will almost instantly send you an email "get a 20% off one item in-store Savings Certificate". I used it on the FoodSaver. The snail mail coupons often have the same "20% off one item in-store" deal. I like my FoodSaver and use it to store all my meats in the freezer, it does a great job. Sometimes it can be little temper mental about drawing the vacuum but that could be me. One of our members, Richard I think and apologize if wrong, recommends getting bag material from THIS SITE. I have not tried it yet but have had it bookmarked for a long time. The prices look great. I like the rolls of material and make my own bags to size. Very easy.

I bought a Foodsaver brand from Costco. Had a coupon for $30 off. It's a better/bigger and cheaper than comparable Wal*Mart Foodsaver models. I think I paid $129 total. It's awesome.

I'll second the food saver model. Have had ours for probably 10 years. Always use the rolls and cut to size. Saves money and does a great job. We season the steaks before freezing them. You will find that you take advantage of good sales more often. Cheap chicken, etc.

Thanks for the link

Saving money with buying in bulk is one big reason I am in the market for one plus want to preserve my wild game from hunting seasons longer in the freezer

go to food savers site and enter you email address for promos and such, about a week later you will receive 80% off link. I bought this one shipping and all for $80

I got mine here a couple of years ago after going through a couple of foodsaver types. Probably overkill, but it works great. Bags and rolls are cheaper than foodsaver brand and very good quality. Cabela's sells the same unit for $50 more.
