Harris Teeter ~ Clearance HT Free Reynolds Handi-Vac

I was in Harris Teeter today and noticed that the Reynolds Handi-Vac Vacum storage system was on clearance (but in the regular place) for $1.94. If you have the coupon for $2 off from the reynolds booklet it's FREE. My favorite price of course!

My store had the system (not bags) in the clearance cart for 1.94 as well. I didn't have my Q with me and was annoyed at the thought of owning one more product that I'd have to pay for refills for when the original system was free!!

I didn't buy it and there was only one so I'm sure it's gone! Anyone use this and like it?? Maybe I'll look around for another one since free is hard to resist.

I remember reading about these going into the clearance rack some time ago and I couldn't find the thread. I found the Handi-Vac on the shelf by the foil tonight. It was not there before, I swear. I've been searching for this thing since I found the coupon on a display a while back with other Reynolds coupons. So it is 10.89 normally, on sale for 1.94 and there are 2.00 coupons out there. They state you can only use one per purchase/household. I got mine tonight and can't wait to use this. There were atleast ten on the shelf. I hope someone else can find them or otherwise my store is way slow!

These are long gone at the (2) stores I shop (Herndon/Reston VA) - I found the last one in a clearance buggy at the front of the store

I love mine - works great for Kraft Cracker Cuts that stay in my refrigerator longer than recommended

I was able to get 3 during Super Double Week, using the 3 like coupons per day. No problem whatsoever. However, I had gotten 2 during a previous triples sale for $2 each and haven't found them to work all that great. Hence the clearance???

I got one of these when they first came out...It was pretty pricey back then. I also had trouble with mine at first, but I wasn't using it right. It was kind of a trial and error thing until I got the hang of it. And give it some time...mine seemed like it was doing nothing but all of a sudden I could see the air being sucked out of the bag.

What I hate about this product is that the bags are ridiculously expensive! I was hoping that they might be reusable, but I haven't had any luck with that.

Another idea for freezing foods that pretty much does the same thing as the Handi-Vac. Put your food in a Hefty, GladLock, storebrand zip bag...seal it up except for a small area in the middle. Stick a straw in that place and suck the air out of the bag. I don't recommend that you do this with raw meat, but I've used this method with most other foods and it really helps with keeping the freshness in and the freezer-burn out.
