I just bought an inexpensive Tilia at Tuesday Morning - $30, I think.
It will only use the 8" wide rolls. I don't know if that's good or bad.
I'm thinking about getting the gizmo that will let me vac seal jars.
That sounds appealing to me.

I just bought replacement bag product at Wally World for HALF of what
Tilia costs at Sam's. Half. And a friend has suggested a way to get
more mileage out of those bags by making the bag way bigger than you
need it the first time, and re-using. Tilia suggests the same, I
believe.
