I’m out of the vacuum sealing bags and roll that came with my vacuum sealer. I was wondering where the cheapest place to order replacements is? I tried to search but could not find anything.
 
Quality over price is always a better value.
 
I get all my bags from Lisa at https://www.vacuumsealersunlimited.com/ they are quality bags and are site sponsors. She also offers SMF members a discount try the pre made bags they are great.
 
I will add another recommendation for Vacuumsealersunlimited.com
 
SonnyE - I have been happy with the bags from LEM but they are not cheap by any means (easily twice the price of nutra-lock). Also still using leftover bags from the old food saver when it died. Been considering the nutra-lock.
 
I agree with Vacuumsealersunlimited.com as well... I mean.. how else would you get these awesome forums if it weren't for SITE SPONSERS ... plus you get an extra 20% off because of the forums/sponsorship ... it's a no brainer ...

Thank You Sarge.
This morning I just went BAM! And after measuring the bags stuff came in in my freezer, that clinched it for me. Two different bags of packaged and flash frozen fish used 11" X .
Since I'm out, and been out for a bit, I just said BAM! That's what Ima gonna try next.
I have a cutter. Next I'm going to rig up a roll holder.
Then cut for my needs. My last was 8" X roll. And I felt like I wasted a lot.
So 100' of 11" wide oughtta do me for a while.

Shipping is a sale stopper for me Keith.
Sorry Bud, but don't tell me one price, then hit me with + $13.65 shipping.
As a customer, I will exercise my choice. And find free shipping.
THAT... is a no brainer.
 
98% of my bag consumption is via Food Saver rolls, in either portion pouch, 8" or 11" rolls. Overall, haven't had much of a problem. I like being able to customize the length of the pouch.

I like to "roll my own" too Craig. This time, 11" wide roll. I felt like the 8" was to awkward for me.
 
My grandfather, who was born in 1880 used to say:

"The quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten."
The above quote is the biggest reason I am only "considering" the nutra-lock bags. At 4 mil thickness, they are .5 mil thicker than those from LEM (and vacuum sealers unlimited) but the LEM bags have a rather unique channel system rather than the more common criss cross pattern resembling a screen. I really like them. I get a super seal. Just pricey but I keep on buying them as the food saver bags are used up.

I totally agree with Sonny,

The shipping charges were an eye popper for me as well. Great product, Great site sponsor, but shipping costs kill any deals Lisa may offer.

I purchased two 8" rolls for $11/ea and the shipping charge was $16.00 Ouch!

I called Lisa about the shipping and she told me that it was what the shipping company (I can't remember now which one it was) charges. I told her she needs to find a different one then.

Hawaiianbrian, You might try your local Target, Kmart, Kohls department stores who have been known to carry vacuum seal rolls in their kitchen department.
 
I've never had a problem with Weston brand rolls or bags. It is actually a better deal (more plastic for less money) on Amazon to buy the bags over the rolls. It is also a HUGE time saver to get pre-cut bags rather than cut and seal every freaking bag when you are storing anything more than 10 pounds of meat/sausage/etc.

I liked the bags better than food saver bags.
