It's been awhile since I've made a Jewdog post. But Lewdog is a Jewdog when it comes to wanting to spend less on things you're going to need anyway. So we had a chest freezer in the garage for the past 4 years, which was big enough but a total pain in the ass. Can't see what's in there, digging through it and finding meat at the bottom, months old and freezer burned. Bought a new Kenmore upright for the garage and sold the other one.

Local store had great deals and went to stock up yesterday. I've taken a few days off work and just being at home. We are transitioning to a new company at work and I have a feeling they are going to fuck me over on my PTO I have accumulated. Time to take days off and call in "sick."

Petite sirloin steaks 2.99/lb
Chicken breast 1.47/lb
93% ground beef 2.97/lb

Locked and loaded.

Save some money by spending some. Buy a food saver. Get them out of those styrofoam containers. Get them airtight.

You're welcome.

I love my foodsaver

Chicken tits with Sweet Baby Rays sauce, and green peppers stuffed with red beans and rice all cooked on the grill

Easy summer type fare

Agreed. Though I've not had a lot of luck with newer Food Savers. My Weston has been a beast, though.

Do you reuse the bags or toss them for something such as chicken?

Extra bags look like they can get expensive if you're tossing them.

Black Friday job I got last year has been good. I've even got by with cheap bags. It took me a bit though. You have to put the textured side up or it won't grab vacuum. I wasted a bunch of bag figuring it out.
[Reply]

I toss them. They're not as bad as you think. Certainly cheaper than wasting meat.

I bought generic ones and they are way cheaper but like I said they aren't worth a shit if you don't put the textured side up.
[Reply]

I stopped using cheap bags. I find a get a better vacuum and longer hold in the freezer with the better bags.


I don't reuse. I don't use them like Ziplocks, I just use them to freeze, so I'm not running through them too fast.
[Reply]

The only time I re-use bags is if it's something going into the freezer that I might sous vide later I'll leave extra room at the top so I can thaw, cut the bag open, season and re-seal.

They're not that expensive if you buy them in bulk, really.

Especially if you watch for sales either on Amazon or even Foodsaver used to occasionally run pretty good ones. They go a lot further than you'd realize.
