Thanks for everyone's input so far.

I ordered 10 piece Pyrex for now to see how that goes. We may also by
Lock & Lock as well.

As far as freezer bags are concerned - is Zip Lock one of the better
brands?

We are currently using Hefty and they seem "OK".

This was the FoodSaver unit I planned on buying. Just not so sure just
yet.....

I have that unit.

If you have ever had to throw out meat that was freezer burned, it is well
worth the investment. The bags are expensive, many folks reuse them. I have
a problem reusing bags that contained raw meat, particularly chicken or
pork, but whatever.
