Just a quick heads up for Canadians. Costco Canada's on line division,
Costco.ca, has the vacuum sealer bags listed again.

These are for the Orved brand of sealer but, they work just fine for
any "external" type of vacuum sealer.
We bought some of the 8 X 12 inch size over a year ago and they are
excellent bags, good, heavy duty material. Then, for a long time
Costco didn't have them listed but, they're back again now.
They work out quite a bit cheaper than buying rolls. We don't have
much use for 6 X 12 inch bags but, the 8 X 12 inch size at $24.99 per
100 bags works out to the equivalent of about $5.00 per roll. The 10 X
18 inch size at $38.99 per 100 bags works out to the equivalent of
about $4.70 per roll.
A word of warning. They have different types of bags listed but only
the one type is good for "external"-type vacuum sealers like FoodSaver
and Rival. If you order some, make sure you order the ones listed for
EPV/EVS machines as they have the "channels".
I don't know if Costco in other parts of the world lists these bags or
not.

They don't have them in my local Costco (Kitchener, ON) but, I just
had email from my granddaughter in Calgary and she says they've been
in the store out there for the last 6 weeks or so.

Freezer burn is not spoilage; it can often be trimmed from meat if one
finds the bit of dry surface offputting. I don't think I've ever thrown
meat simply because of a bit of freezer burn‹*that's* wasteful.
