We all know that food is expensive, it's a big part of our family's budget and the last thing that we want is it to go to waste. We are all looking for ways to cut costs in our grocery budget, whether it is clipping coupons, buying from bulk warehouse stores, planting our own gardens, or hunting the very meat we eat. While all this is great, we need to make sure we are maximizing our food's storage life so our efforts to save money on food don't go to waste. We've made a list of all the great ways you can use a vacuum sealer in your home as a food saver, money saver and time saver! 

Do you shop at the large warehouse stores to save money on bulk meat and other food purchases? We suggest portioning out your food into serving sizes, vacuum packaging them and then toss them into your freezer to use later. Vacuum sealing will prevent freezer burn and will keep your meat as fresh as the day you bought it for up to 2 years. 

Maybe you have your own vegetable garden? Do you produce more vegetables every summer than you can possibly consume? Don't let them go to waste! Vacuum sealing your fresh fruits and vegetables is an excellent way to preserve them and lock the nutrients in for many months so you can enjoy garden fresh food year round

Storing your your leftovers is a great way to not let your food go to waste. But if you can't eat them in the next few days they will sit in your refrigerator and grow mold in a plastic container. Rather, vacuum seal them and place in your freezer (don't forget to label it so you know what it is) for the next time you need a quick dinner!
