Buck a foot seems high, but they are not cheap. You can easily re-use them
though. I cut the bags a few inches longer than would be needed. When cut
open, you lose about an inch so you can use them for something smaller when
they get too short for a roast.

Wash them out with regular liquid soap, rinse, put then over a bottle to
dry. Or put them in the dishwasher turned inside out.
