>>> I freeze my bulk spices even if I don't vac-pack them.<<<

I may try them, I do buy a few bulk spices. My biggest need is to re-package
meats, I buy steaks and etc from a wholesale dealer by the case so need to
re-package them for the two of us . It was just by chance stumbling on to
the Foodsaver as we had been looking at the different models, in fact I had
just looked at them in a local store the day before I found this one. RM~
