While we're on the topic if the vacuum sealers -- just how much better do
they really work, anyway? Is it really worth it, compared to say ziplock
freezer bacgs, or is it an extra $1/bag (maybe not quite) for a 15% gain?

I'm toying with the idea of getting one, but I'm not convined they're going
to be *that* much better.

Experiences?

Thanks!
