Another thing one may need to keep an eye out for in this global world is
units of measure. A US gallon is not the same as an IMPERIAL gallon. In
each country we may casually just use the word "gallon" and could have our
cooking turn out differently. A fluid "Ounce" is also not the same in the
English vs Imperial measure also.

I have a Food Saver for items that are on sale when I buy food items in
bulk. Not just in freezer bags but also dry goods in larger containers.
