I bought it online about three years ago and still have one full box and
a package and a half in the open box. It's in sealed packets so doesn't
get compacted and stays good.

I've been seeing posts on this group that say people are finding it in
Walmart and other places. The ones I've seen online are now in what
appears to be a small plastic jar.

Living in a small town I can't often find things I want so try to buy
things from Amazon, anything over $25 gets free shipping so I wait until
I can combine items.

I buy my vacuum sealer bags on eBay and they're generic, I buy two sizes
in fifty foot rolls and they work good. I just bought two new Tilia jar
sealers a couple of days ago, got them from TotalVac online and they
were cheaper than anyplace else with less cost for shipping. I had
recently bought a new hose for our thirty-year old Filter Queen vacuum
cleaner from them and discovered they carried some FoodSaver parts too.
I had a coupon for free shipping from my previous order so got the jar
sealers I needed.
