A vacuum sealer has been one of my favorite kitchen tools, and not necessarily because I stored food with it! My Mom bought me a Rival Seal-a-Meal about twelve years ago that has given me great service all these years, but I’ve recently upgraded to a Food Saver for the bigger wattage, and because I think I’ve worn that Seal-a-Meal out! I love my new Food Saver and wanted to share some unique ways you can use your vacuum sealer to get the biggest bang for your PREParedness buck!
