Great new feature you can seal two things at once.

I use my foodsaver all of the time, it saves me a LOT of money. Fresh corn on the cob yesterday was awesome. No more freezer burn on meats , and no throwing stuff from the freezer any more. Love it!!
This product has many applications, not just for food. Personal items like jewelry and keepsakes can be well protected. We are only limited by our imagination and the size of the bags. I don't know how I got along without it.
My son loves the 11" portion pouch roll for sealing the meat he cuts up. The present "deal" you have on them is a great one and I plan on taking advantage of purchasing another lot.
I use these to freeze small quantities like a cup of nuts or one apple's worth of dried apples. That way I don't have to either reseal the larger bag or use the contents quickly to preserve freshness. I find it easier to go ahead and split the bags apart before sealing because they otherwise seem to have a bump in the middle perforated section that makes it a little more difficult to get a good seal. Once they're apart it's a snap, though!
Previously, I have used separate bags for each portion when I purchased food in bulk. With the portion pouch bags, I use half as many with half the work. A tue labor and time saver.
For years I have been cutting down and sealing edges of larger bags to make smaller bags for individual portions. This over worked the sealing strips on the FoodSaver. The new bags are great! Thank you for developing them. They are perfect for a single chicken breast or steak. No more aggravation of cutting down and sealing.
