I can buy a 1000 ft. roll of Reynolds plastic film for something like $8.00 and buy a 1100 ft. roll of freezer paper for something like $30.00 . With this setup I can process and wrap approximately 12 - 15 deer for $38.00. How much would it cost you if you used the vacuum seal machines and have to buy there brand of costly bags and wrap 12 - 15 deer? I would bet you couldn't do it for $38.00

I got one at Costco and love it. It has an option that lets you cut the vacuum back a bit so you don't crush things like chips. I use mine on meats, and it does a beautiful job - much better than I've been able to achieve with ziplocs and sucking. I looked at a couple of different places, and Costco was far and away the best deal, with the nice model and all the accessories.
