I just returned from WalMart, home of the recently-arrested 300+ illegal
immigrants, where I found Black & Decker vacuum-sealer bags. A box with
two 18-ft long, 11-inch (gallon) rolls cost me $13.84 ($6.92 per roll).
The Tilia bags were selling for $9.97 for 15 pre-made 1-gallon bags
(about 66 cents per bag). I'm guessing the pre-sealed bags are about
12-inches long. So, at that rate, I'm getting 36 1-gallon bags for
$13.84 (about 38 cents per bag).

While it says on the box that they "work with leading brand vacuum
sealers," I wasn't sure of how well they'd work with my Tilia, so I only
bought one box. I just tried making one bag and sealing an apple and it
works just dandy. I'm going back to wipe them out.

Just thought I'd share.
