Reader Questions: Food Vacuum System & Freezer Recommendations

The links in the post below may be affiliate links. Read the full disclosure.


Reader Jessica has two questions for us.

Questions:

1)  What food vacuum system do you have?  Would you recommend?
I’m trying to buy a nice middle of the road (not the Cadillac but not the clunker) in order to keep the meat I am starting to bulk buy for longer (nasty freezer burn!!)

2) Anyone suggest a stand alone freezer (for our garage).  We are also looking for something in the 150 – 250 range.  The kind that has a top open lid.  Not as big as a fridge but a little bigger than half?

I am trying to wait for a holiday or a REALLY good sale to purchase…

The “man garage” is slowly becoming “storage”…. at first he was wary to give me 1 shelf… now he’s given me 2 of his shelves + offered the idea of a freezer.  I think he gets the long term benefits of me buying 20lbs of meat or 8 bags of doritos at a time 😉

Do you guys have any advice for Jessica on either a freezer recommendation or for a food vacuum system?  (On a side note, I have to say its pretty amazing what a few bags of doritos can do 😀 )
