I am wondering if I need one of these? I was told I could use one to make
single serve packets of nut butter but I would have to keep them in the
refrigerator. You can get shelf stable single serve packs of almond and
peanut butter, but daughter is allergic to both almonds and peanuts. I
can't find any other nut or seed butters packaged this way. She likes to
take nut or seed butter and jam in her lunch along with a hermetically
sealed package of gluten free bread. But now that we know of her almond
allergy, she can't do that. Unless of course I use a snack bag and just
scoop some nut or seed butter into it.

So... I know I can use a Food Saver to make little single serve packets.
But what else is it good for? It looks like I could package up stuff for
the freezer, but... I don't really freeze too much food. I do shop at
Costco but I can get chicken breasts packaged in 2 breast portions and
ground beef in 1 pound portions. I know they sell other kinds of meat but
those and bacon are really the only meats I eat. I buy other stuff like
pork chops in smaller quantities for my daughter and husband, but they don't
eat them often so I can't see buying a big pack of that.

We don't have a big freezer. Just a side by side. So not a lot of freezer
space.

Can the Food Saver be used for other things besides just freezing? I was
going to ask for one for Christmas, but when I saw the price, it seemed like
a lot of money to spend just to package up nut butter.
