For two people. this makes the most sense. I had chicken breasts - which usually are a meal for two, and sealed two side by side, in case the grand kids come over. Same with a ham. This will reduce clutter in the freezer!
I have used Food Saver products for many years.. I really llike the 11" roll of divided portion...that is a real life saver for anyone that feeds only one or two people at a time.
Since I am a single person living alone I find this product to be a real money saver to use. No market sells a package with just one pork chop or one steak, so I always package and freeze them. Now I can use a single portion in each side of the portion bag. I now save money two ways: first by using my Food Saver and second by not having to use so many bags.
This was a real disappointment. Each side is so small it's difficult to put anything in it. I have to cut food down just to fit something in it. It is a real waste of money, and I will probably through the whole thing out.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This product is great for freezing hamburger. The double portion is just right for us most of the time but on the occasion that we just need one, separating the bag is easier than having to thaw & re-freeze.
I bought this product for a second time because it is great for smaller portions; and because it is a roll, the length of each bag can be cut for your particular needs. The roll has two bag sections side-by-side which need to be separated (or will be separated) by pulling them apart. Because of what I'm packaging, I like to separate them before packing and sealing. Since pint-size bags are the smallest size that are offered for single, ready-to-use bags, this gives you a way to make and package smaller items without as much waste. I would like to see boxes of 1/2 pint bags available but these pouches work well.
