Picked these up the other night when i stopped in to get some foodsaver brand. They were quite a bit cheaper. If anything i figured i could always return them if they weren't good. Just did about 4 packs of burger and 8 packs of steaks, they worked really good and sealed around the meat really well. I'll update this once they get jostled around in the freezer the next few months.

I’ve put up about 200# of deer, turkey, and chicken with my Weston and these bags over the past couple weeks. They seal very well. They do seem a little mil thickness lighter than the Zip Lock brand I was accustomed to using. I’m expecting 2 years out of them....we shall see. I found some 2014 year old steaks recently with a touch of freezer burn with the Zip Lock brand. A little trimming and they ate like 2018. I prefer Zip Lock however it appears WalMart is phasing them out with these for replacements.
We have been getting bags from ebay. A seller out of Glenview Illinois. Their bags have been great for the last 4 years.

They carry varios sizes also.
Name of his store is Food Magic Seal.
How are these prices compared to the others Ben? All I know is they're cheaper than what we were getting several years ago.

I've been using these for the last couple of years. Cheaper than yours, xbowguy by about $.02 per bag. I get pint size bags, 11" and 15" rolls on Amazon, too. quality is as good as anything I've ever used and the prices are the lowest I've found. durable, seal perfectly every time, and I don't have to waste my time going to the store.

Long term I'll probably be making bulk Amazon buys. I like the rolls so I can customize my sizing. Your pricing appears a little better than Walmart's offerings. I have preference to the heavier mil thicknesses.
I believe this is the route i will be going as well. With Greyson hunting now, probably assume we will get 4 deer a year if we wanted. I plan on getting into sausage and snack stick making
We ran out of bags once and had to "Take what we could find in a bind". Price of bags at the store were high back then. I might be wrong but I'm thinking it was like .40 per bag at that time. Ebay was the cheapest on bulk buying so we just kept going to this guy I mentioned. You can't buy experience~~so it's nice to get input from a group like this on these things.
