We all know that vacuum sealing your food prevents freezer burn and extends the life of frozen foods by 500%, but are they economical?

Well, they can be. Buy smart and use the vacuum sealer the same way and it will become an invaluable tool for you in maintaining your frugal lifestyle. Here are some tips to help you make that happen:

Don’t buy the pre-sized bags, get the rolls so you only use the size you need.

After using a bag, wash it out and reuse it. Try to waste as little as possible when cutting them open. You can even turn the bag sideways and make it a smaller bag that way.

Buy meat that’s on sale, and seal and freeze individual portions. No freezer burn and you can keep your freezer full for cheap.
