Re: Harris Teeter Clearance: Reynolds Handi-Vac 1.94. free with 2.00 coupon

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. |
