I’m thinking I could save at least $500 each year….but if I can win this one, I’ll let you know next year!

I think I could save A couple hundred!!

I think I could save close to $500.00. Because I could buy more and freeze it.

I liked foodsaver on fb

I believe I could save at least $400 a year by using the Food Saver.  I end up throwing away frost-bitten vegetables, and meat that I’m not sure is good or bad.  This would save a ton of money from food waste, and from countless zipper freezer bags!!

I can’t tell you how much food I’ve tried to freeze and ended up throwing away because it was all iced on top! I would love to get one of these to start buying more in bulk and split packages

I liked food saver on FB

i think i would save tons! i only shop every 2 weeks so i buy in bulk lots!! how about 600.00!!!

This would be amazing!  We are a family of 5….need I say more? LOL  I make a lot of meals to freeze ahead & have wanted a foodsaver for a very long time….this would be awesome :)

I think I could save several hundreds of dollars with the FoodSaver!!

Exciting giveaway! I honestly have no idea how much I would save with a FoodSaver — we are just about to buy a spare freezer this week and this would be an awesome partner for it. But I think the combination of a chest freezer and a food saver means that I could save at least 50% more on my meat purchases, and probably close to as much on produce (not to mention how yummy it is when it’s seasonal!)

I like FoodSaver on FaceBook!!

I think my family could save about $500 a year. We eat some type of meat product every Friday, Saturday, & Sunday. So every week I am buying steaks, pork, chicken, in bulk. We could really use this. Thanks for the giveaway!

At LEAST $500.    I just burned mine up from overuse (but I was ready for the new pretty ones anyways…).   Mine was boring white but I wouldn’t give in to buying a new one until it gave up.   Maybe you can keep me from buying the new one!
 

Hey, I liked Food Saver on Facebook!

Oh!  I would LOVE to win this Food Saver!!  My mother has one, and uses it all the time!!  I think that my family would save well over $500 a year!! IMagine buying in bulk and saving money!!  PICK ME!!

I would probably save around $300/year with this method.  I would love to find out for sure! =)

I loved my FoodSaver!  And I say loved because mine broke and we could not afford to purchase another one at this time:(  But we used it ALL the time!  It was so nice to be able to take advantage of the meat sales and buy in bulk and then seal it and stash it in the freezer!  You also didn’t have to worry about fresh fruit and vegatables going bad because it worked great for those too!  Love, Love, LOVE the food saver and would recommend it to anyone!!!  We probably saved an average of $450 a year I would say.

“Liked” on facebook :) 

I would LOVE to have this. I think it would save me close to $300 a year.

I think that I could save $656.00!
:)

Oh goodness, I would have to estimate saving at least a couple of hundred of dollars.  Would love to have one of these!!

I could save well over $500.00 a year with a food saver. When there is a good sale at the store, I love to buy the family packs and freeze the meats. The freezer bags just don’t seem to help at times.

I know I could save at least $400 a year with the Foodsaver. I like to buy discounted meat and being able to freeze it much longer than the traditional way without freezer burn is a huge bonus! Plus, I love the idea of prepping meats with seasonings and marinades!!!

My goal is to produce as much food as possible in our own garden and can/freeze as much as possible for winter storage.  If I could eliminate buying produce from the grocery store I could save hundreds!

I liked foodsaver on FB!

Probably a couple hundred.

Liked on facebook!

I don’t know how much we would save, we don’t buy much meat but I would love one! I would probably buy more meat to store and save if I had one!

Don’t know how much money I would save, but I am sure it is a lot.  I love to stock up and put things in the freezer.  I need one of these.  It would be great to WIN this.

We have owned a Food Saver for ten years and literally ‘wore it out’; with the economy the way it is, can’t purchase another one. So, here goes, maybe we’ll win this one.

I know I could save several hundred dollars -  bought one for my son-in-law and he LOVES it for freezing deer and fish.  We enjoy fresh deer and fish when we visit all year long!  I NEED ONE FOR ME!!

I have never had a FoodSaver but I bet I could save at least $200 a year if I used this product. Maybe I will get to find out.

I think I would save hundreds !!!! I would use it probally daily :)  It could also be handy for “non-freezer” items as well !!!!!

Oh my goodness!  With the cost of everything nowadays I would probably have to estimate that it would save between $350-$500.  I’ve looked at items like this before and with all the accessories and container options I would never be throwing food out – we could keep all sorts of things fresh for months!! 

I ‘like’ them on Facebook!!!

Already “like” them and have the older model :) I would LOVE LOVE LOVE this newer version!!! We save a TON already but I know with this newer model we could save at least $100.00 a yr on the bags alone. With the one I have you still use up more than you actually need due needing enough to put in the vacuum chamber, but with this one I feel like that is eliminated thus saving even more!

I think I can save about $200 on my food bill

I’m sure I could save at least $400. a year! I could take advantage of sales that I’m unable to do now. If I win I will let you know exactly how much I save! Thanks!

I think we could save around $479.00 a year! I would love to have a Foodsaver. I have never owned one!

I “liked” Foodsaver several months ago ;-)

I’m sure I could save several hundred dollars, at least! I’d love to have one of these babies. Thanks for the chance to win!! :)

I think I could save $400-$500 a year.  I’d love to win one of these!

I have an older one that needs some repair. I would love a newer model! I already save a hundred or so per year.

With a family of 6, I think we could easily, easily save over $500 a year!  I do have the ziplock vacuum system, but lately, I cannot find the bags anymore! :(

Within a year, I bet I could easily save $2000 if not more (family of 6!)

I would guess about $400.  We have two refrigerator/freezers and one chest freezer so the FoodSaver would get used a significant amount.

Foodsaver is AWESOME!!!  I’ve had one for years!  My husband and I were apart for more than a year living in other states.  I would prepare meals for him in seal them in the bags.  All he had to do was microwave them and he had home cooked meals!!  I make spaghetti sauce  in a huge pot and then seal it in the bags.  I don’t have to make it for at least 5 months!!  We love it.  We even package the dry dog food into packages so the contents fit in our counter top container.  Bags are a bit pricey but Foodsaver has some good deals sometimes and Costco sells a large box at a good price.  Well worth it!!! Between gas and food, I bet we can save over $1000 a year. Would love to have this newer model!

I would love to have one of these machines but they are out of my budget for now.  But I would save close to $300 a year with one of these fab machines.

I have liked them on facebook too.
Thanks!

Foodsaver is a moneysaver.I see savings of $ 500 + a year if I get to own one. 

I love my little foodsaver.  It saves lots of money already, I freeze individual portions of leftovers for my husband to grab and take for his lunches…savings of at least $20 a week already.  Being able to freeze larger items for our family of six would at least double that!!

Let’s try this again.  I could save a ton of money with the Food Saver.  I sure hope that I can WIN this one.  Thanks for letting me enter.

this would be a blessing, all the money i could save by buying meat in bulk! i would love to have one!

I think I would easily save $1,000.00.  If I have to throw away anymore moldy cheese I will just die.  And when you have teenage kids, they always open things (which lets all the air in) and then they don’t close the bag properly…or they don’t close it at all!  LOL!  This could be used to pre-package meals which would save money and provide a more healthy alternative to packaged portions of meals.  I would like to win one because my husband won’t let me buy one even though I have TRIED to explain how the savings would help us over the year.  Sigh.

i liked foodsaver on facebook! interesting to see all the pics of foods that people have “saved” with their foodsavers!

i would save at least 250.00 a year!

FoodSavers are a wonderful product.  I’m due for a new one.  I have almost worn my out!  I love to know that there is no oxygen inside the package to ruin my food.  I save hundreds every year with the Food Saver!

I would love to have one of these machines but they are out of my budget for now.  But I would save close to $300 a year with one of these fab machines.

Thanks!

I would love to be stocked up on meat when the price is right and not have to worry about freezer burn!  I think we could save at least $300!

I would guess it is easily $800. If you figure most of your grocery shopping is for meat.Who can’t pass up the deal of chicken, steak porkchops when you see them? Then you go home and freeze them, 1 month later you want to eat it and it is so white you can’t tell what it is..YUCK! This would be be so helpful around my house and my husband would love that is wallet isn’t so thin anymore. Although with the money I save there……….hmmmm…..  Thank you Southern Savers!

I would say somewhere in the 1000-1500 saved per year range

I’d save tons on items that will stay fresh and I won’t have to throw away due to freezer burn.  Thanks for this opportunity.

probably around $500.

Hundreds of dollars a year could be saved! I buy meat on sale and so much of it ends up getting tossed. This would be a lifesaver!

With it being me and my husband a few hundred dollars at least! I would love to have one of these. I’ve been contemplating purchasing one for a while now.

Although I have spent this summer canning everything I could – these Food Savers are worth every penny if you buy one…..you can easily save hundreds……

I know I would save a ton of money per year by using the foodsaver. My family has a big garden every year and we freeze most of it for winter use. We also hunt deer and wild turkey to feed our family and process the meat ourselves. I would love to have a foodsaver system!!!

I could easily save $800.00 to 900.00. We buy large quantities of meat on sale and freeze!

I think we could save well over $300 a year on list food by using the Food Saver

This would be awesome! I would save so much by buying in bulk. Every time I try to freeze food it always seems to get freezer burn! I would estimate I could save $300 easy!

Julie

I can’t imagine how much this would save!  I would love to have one.  It seems every time I try to buy on sale and put something in the freezer, it ends up with freezer burn.  We have an older freezer too which probably doesn’t help!  Thanks for the opportunity. 

So tired of getting food, especially meat out of the freezer and seeing it freezer-burned.  With a family of 6, I could save hundreds!!

Wow! I think I could save about $500 a year.  I would love to have one.

I could probably save $400 a year or more. We freeze alot of items and would be great for storing food for backpacking.

I could save 600. to 800. a year because I would be able to buy bulk.  I also liked them on facebook :)

I think I could save at least $800 a year with FoodSaver.  I throw out so much food because of freezer burn.

I send food to Costa Rica and this would just help preserve the food while it takes a month long in transit and the battering the regular bags take just wont hold as well as I imagine these air tight sealed ones can take. Though I will defo try this for my household as well if I got one :)

I think we could save well over $300 a year on list food by using the Food Saver

I like Food Saver on Face Book

No more freezer burn! I’d probably save a couple hundred dollars. I’ve always wanted one.

I would love to have one of these! It’s just me and the hubs, we are newlyweds :) and I feel like so much goes to waste! I am sure we could save a few hundred dollars each year using one of these!

I think this machine would be great, with a potential to save my family over a hunderd dollars a year . What a great idea.

Since I live alone, I could save quite a bit of money. I like to buy in bulk for saving but many times my items have freezer burn on them by the time I get a chance to cook them (chicken is the worst!). I have about 3 different “food savers” gadgets but when I go back to buy bags at the store, the bags are usually discontinued.  FoodSaver has been around for a long time and I know I wouldn’t have problems finding replacment bags for it.  My parents have had one for many years and just won’t give it up to me!!!
 

We have a ton of leftovers - a lot of which gets thrown out.  I could probably save about $720 per year + save on prep time for future meals!

Hmm…I’m not sure. We already do some freezer meals that we label, but we still throw out lots of “unknowns.” I imagine we could save $300 or more.

I can’t even imagine how much I would save each month let alone a year! Hundreds of dollars possible more cause I stopped buying the bigger (cheaper) packs of meats & buying more of the smaller ones. They work better for me keeping it in the original pack & not a freezer bag. I have been looking into them for a while but to get a good one would be out of my budget right now. It would be awesome to win one!! By the way your class in Spartanburg was great! 

could save tons of money! plus being able to freeze fresh veggies & fruit – awesome!!

I liked them on FB

I imagine that I could save over $5,000. Besides being able to save frozen food longer, I will be more able to make my own food when ingredients are on great sales and then keep them in the freezer until we need them! I have a a stand up freezer with lots of space! Also, if we process our own venison this year, we will be able to keep meat in the freezer for almost nothing all year long!

My family could save tons of money with one of these. We do lots of fishing and shrimping and hunting. We also buy meat in bulk. Not only would we save money with one of these I imagine tons of space in our freezers. I would love to have one of these but have never tried one. Saving several hundreds a year sounds great to me:)

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE FOOD SAVER. I BOUGHT ONE OVER 10 YEARS AGO AND I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BUY IN BULK AND SAVE QUITE A BIT OVER THE YEARS. I DO THINK HAVING A NEW ONE WOULD BE NICE.

Wow, my family could really benefit from one of these! We are a praciticing “Southern Saver” Family and owning one of these we can really take advantage of those meat and produce specials! We could definitely save $1000 or more over the course of a year… Who couldn’t use a an extra $1000 or more???

I believe I would save $200-300 at least. We use our freezer alot! We always buy meat in bulk & freeze it & we like to freeze some vegetables when we find them on really cheap. We also freeze left overs for a meal later on. We hate to waste & LOVE to save! Now to ‘like’ them on FB…

Because I do not usually buy in bulk im not sure how the prices would compare but im sure i could save plenty!

My best friend has one of these, and I am sooooo JEALOUS lol.  She saves a ton of money with hers.  We buy most of our meat once a month and freeze it in individual ziploc bags.  Many times when we go to pull it out, there are quite a few that are freezer burnt and have to be thrown away.  We could probably save about $300 or so a year if we had one! 

With a family of 6 in my house, I know this would be a huge savings for my family as well as saving me time. I can cook lots of things and freeze them for the week. My family would be so grateful if we won one.

we’d probably save a couple hundred a year!

I would love this!  I just threw away several things from my freezer!  This would save me at least $200 a year!

I wouldnt even know how to estimate the savings! Between the meat, fresh fruit and vegetables and snaks that come in boxes (pizza rolls, etc) that seem to always go bad after you have opened them, the savings would be huge!! Not to mention toys like this are fun to use lol

I liked foodsaver on facebook also!

Well, being an avid couponer and one who stock piles. This machine will help me when I find the great deals on chicken and other meat. I won’t have to worry about freezer burn because it’s been cover by the Foodsaver.

I would love to win this food saver!  Our family could easily save $250 a year or more. Thanks for all you do!

I don’t buy anything unless it’s on special, and when it’s on special, I buy a 4 month supply!  Unfortunately, some of that ends up flavorless by the time we eat it due to freezer burn.  Sometimes, we even end up throwing it away.  But if I had the Food Saver, I’d be able to buy in bulk and not worry about what it will be like when we end up eating it.  Between meats, vegetables and baked goods, the Food Saver could easily save our family up to $2000 a year!!!

I’m sure I could save at least $350 per year using a Foodsaver. My mom had one when I was younger and she loved it! Vacuum sealing foods became sort of an obsession! LOL A healthy, money saving obsession ;o)

I would say at least $3000. Machine sounds great.

I could save a million bajillion dollars. Maybe not that much, but close! I could buy more meat at great stockup prices and have it last so much longer. I could fill my deep freezer and feel totally cool about getting to the meat when I get to it!

Hey Jenny,
I have looked at these for the last year wondering how effective they are and if it would be worth investing in one.  I keep getting cold feet because of the price and kept hoping to find one for a really good price.   Based on your review, I’m imagining I could easily save $500 on meat alone, in a year.  Zowwy!!  I inherited my parent’s upright freezer, so I now have visions of perfectly kept meats, individual plates of left overs and ready to go casseroles dancing in my head!!  Thanks for a chance to win one! 

This is great!  In out household we could save at least a thousand a year just by using this product

I’ve been wanting one of these for years! We buy all our meat in bulk and deep freeze it, but I end up having to double bag it and still get ice all over it. Plus we’d love to start doing baked goods and freezing it, but dont’ trust it and this would be a huge help. I’d say it’d save us several hundred a year!

I believe I can save over $600 a year. I tend to throw away a lot of food because of freezer burns. My mother-in-law has one and she says it’s the best invention ever!

We borrow a unit to seal hiking/camping meals for my Boy Scout trips.  Not purchasing those meals saves at least $75 every trip in food.  Sure would be nice to have one of our own.  Not just freezer, but buying bulk for the fridge would be nice, too – cheese blocks, and leftovers are great in these bags. They are also awesome for re-sealing that chip bag…no more stale chips. Thanks.  Too many savings to add up.

We have a garden this year and we could save so much money by using it for the freezer items!  My husband has been asking for one for a while!  And meats would keep so much nicer and nuts and …….!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I could save hundreds and hundreds of dollars a year by using this. I have wanted one of these for a while, but have not rustled up the courage to buy it. I freeze so much stuff for winter months.

This is great!  In our household we could save a thousand dollars a year!  Thanks for the chance~

Accounting for bulk purchases (per month) of ground beef, ground chuck, ground turkey, vegetables, fruit, chuck roasts, and pork I could save an estimated $3,612.00 a year using the FoodSaver.  I do have an upright freezer and I’ve been using freezer storage bags.  The freezer bags do not seem to compare to what the FoodSaver says it can do.  I’m recently divorced with two small kids.  I homeschool my children, too.  I’ve become a recent coupon user (I rely on your site heavily!) because I’m living off one-third the income.  Saving money is a big deal for me and it is a lesson I incorporate (where appropriate) in math class.  Having a FoodSaver would save our food & money!

Liked Foodsaver on FB

We try to do as much as we can to save money. We dry, can and feeze. Having this system would help us out so much. It seems like it would do an amazing job.

Not sure how much I would save my family, at least five hundred a year, but I hope it would be even more….

I could save LOTS of money by buying in bulk at the lowest price and freezing it.  My parents have a FoodSaver, and they love it.  They vacuum seal everything!

 I could save oddles in a years time as we have 2 freezers.My problem is fresh produce like peppers.I can’t ever seem to get all the air out and end op with freezer burn.

We grow organic vegetables in our home garden and freeze A LOT for the winter every year.  We use traditional bags now, but have wanted a vacuum sealer for a long time.  We could save hundreds each year.

I would save SO MUCH and create MUCH less waste – I’m a single person living on my own and I only ever need enough food for one person but I ALWAYS end up cooking more than I can eat in a few days! It would be SO NICE if I could just vacuum seal meals and stick them in the freezer! And it would save me having to buy more food b/c of what I had to throw away!

This would be great for stocking up on seasonal fruits and veggies at the farmer’s market. I think we could save a few hundred dollars a year  – AND have the freshest produce all winter!

I’m guessing at least $300!  We love to freeze meat and fresh produce from my grandfather’s garden.  This would be awesome!

I could save so much!!  No way to even figure it.  Since we are only a family of 3, lots of good deals we have found goes bad before we can finish eating them.

Being able to purchase meats and lettuce speciffically will help me save money.  Alot of times as soon as I open a bag of lettuce it turns brown and I have to throw it away.  Putting my meats in zip lock bags, they still get freezerburn and have to pitch them too.  This will be a big help

i would love to ha ve one we have 5 people 2 feed we grow agardrn it seems like alot gets wasted we could freeze every thing not have to worry all winter

liked them on facebook too!

I can’t even imagine how much we could save with a FoodSaver!  This is one of those kitchen essentials I have wished we could afford to try.

I liked food saver and southern savers on facebook!

This could save hundreds! I would like to start buying family size packs of meat as they are cheaper. Then I could seal them into smaller portions. This would be a great way to save some cash!!

I have a deep freeze already, but it’s very old and often i end up with freezer burn on items.  This would ensure that I don’t have to throw things away, so I suppose it would save me about $100 a year since I already freeze things.  Always wanted one though!

I have an older model – if you really are freezing something to use in the next few months it’s great - but the bags are expensive and for many items that you are going to use within a couple of weeks or for anything that you want to be able to open and then then close or reseal the bag you have to weigh the cost of the bags as might not be a big savings.  (also you should not reuse these bags especially if they’ve been in contact with proteins – including cheese) as potential for bacteria/salmonella increases.

If I won the Foodsaver, I could easily save 200.00 a year on freezer bags, & another 150.00 to 200.00 on meat.

I could save thousands of dollars. We buy a lot of fresh fruit and veggies. I would love to be able to purchase a side of beef/pork and not have to worry about the meat going south before we are ready to eat it. We could store our pre made meals, too. This would be great for my husband to take for lunches. 

It would save me sooooooo much money.  I like to buy meat in bulk and break it down for the savings.  If I had the food saver, things would keep fresh much longer.  I tried to buy one about a year ago with Target gift cards we received from our wedding.  It was out of stock indefinitely.  So sad.

I think I could save a few hundred dollars of freezer items with a food saver–we have been wanting one for quite some time and with a minor kitchen overhaul in our near future (2 of our appliances died within the last 2 weeks) it would be a great addition to our kitchen!

We would save more than a few hundred dollars in produce alone! I only give my daughter fresh foods and its hard to buy in bulk because she doesn’t eat as much and it always goes bad.

I always plant a garden each year in order to save money on groceries. I can a lot of foods but  I feel like with the foodsaver I could save even more money by being able to freeze some of them veggies as well. This would be so much help to my family in reducing our grocery bill not only in the summer months but all year long.

I “like” Foodsaver on FB (with a different name than I post on here, but Iike them nonetheless!)

I think I could save several hundreds of dollars with 4 boys/men to feed in the house especially since their favorite meal if I would make it everyday is steak! But I could save a lot of money getting steak on sale and using the FoodSaver compared to going out for steak dinners with a family of 6!

Well if time=money, and it will save me time putting away foods and prepping foods, then I’d estimate easily over $500 per year.

would love to have one save a lot of money on family of 5  husband only one works iam disabled

I don’t know – $100 or more?

I follow Foodsaver on Facebook!

I think I could save at least $150 dollars a year.

I would love this for my son’s family. Has 3 children and lives near a beach. Constantly trying to protect items from dampness and water not to mention saving more food in the freezer for longer periods!! Being their nanny and p/t chef, this would save a bundle of money on food and other items.

i would save at least 300.00

Probably around $1000…with purchasing things on sale and packing for later as well as gas getting to the store, etc.

I plant a garden every year and do a lot of canning and with a food saver I feel like i would be able to freeze a lot of the food as well and be able to reduce my grocery bill not only during the summer months but during the winter as well. It was also save me a lot of time in the kitchen but it is quick and easy. The foodsaver would be a huge money and time saver.

I’ve always wanted one and I think I could save thousands!

I think I would save about $1000 a year, and I will be able to keep everything fresh.
Jenny thank you for all you do : )

I could probably save $1000 a year if I had a Foodsaver.  Numerous items are freezable including meat, bread, cakes, vegetables, fruits, soups, etc.  Buying when items are on sale to use later would be so much easier and healthier especially being on a strict diet for medical reasons you would be able to prepare meals ahead and freeze them to insure you have them for a later date when items are not on sale or in season to meet your needs.  I would love to have a Foodsaver!

i cant even estimate how much, i think it would be sooo much :) $500?

I WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE TO WIN ONE OF THESE MACHINES! WE ARE A FAMILY OF 4 & WOULD SAVE AROUND $1000 PER YEAR ALONE!  MY KIDS & HUBBY CAN  REALLY EAT …ALOT!!  IT WOULD MAKE LIFE SO MUCH EASIER !

I could save about $1000 or more each year.  We eat venison, so that’s a money saver right there, however it always gets freezer burn before we are even 1/4 of the way through the deer!  I end up thowing it out much of time and getting beef.  If my venison lasted that long it would save me not only the cost of freezer bags but the cost of meat itself!  I could REALLY use this especially w/ hunting season just around the corner!!! :)

We could probably save $300-$400 per year on meats, vegs, fruits and freezer bags. We could use this to more effectively and efficiently use our freezer. Would love to try this product.

I could save well over $1000 a year with a Foodsaver.  Our freezer will form freezer burn within 2 weeks.  If I freeze something I know we still have to eat it quickly, leaving me unable to stock up!   I have been telling my husband that I needed a sealer so I can buy more when meat and veggies are on sale.  With a Foodsaver I can freeze more…throw away less!!

I like foodsaver on FB.

I could really save a ton of money with this.  My husband hunts and being able to process the meat in bulk and then use the Foodsaver to package it would be great!

Oh my!  I have been dying to try this!  I could save a lot of money with this great product!  I could probably save $500 plus a year with this!  I found the bags on sale about a year ago, and bought them!  But I dont own the machine.  I have been asking for it for years…maybe this is my chance!  LOL  thanks!

hmmmm…….after looking at these comments – I can’t help but wonder why everyone doesn’t own one of these — you are all throwing food away due to freezer burn — seems the food saver would pay for itself in no time at all!.  Maybe, Jenny could get them to do a really good discount for her couponers….just a thought…

I’ve often seen meats go on sale, only to find that you have to buy half the side of a cow… Since its just my wife and I, we haven’t bought those in the past. We figured that the meat would get burned by the time we got around to eating all of it… and we definitely didn’t want to waste that… this seems like a perfect soultion for us! How much could we save? Who knows the exact amount ($100, $300 or more?), but if we win, we’ll be on our way to finding out!!  :-)

I saw a tutorial a while back on how to make your own gogurt, etc. using a food saver and I’ve wanted one since.  Not sure how much money I’d save, but I’d enjoy it (:

I would love to have one of these and already have meals ready to cook when I get home. I work an hour away from my home and this would be great not to mention the money we would save on meat that we throw out all the time which during a year this machine would save us about 300.00.

I think I could save $200-300 per year.  My Mom has one and I would love to have one also!

Oh my!  I have been dying to try this product!  I purchased bags about a year ago…still waiting on my machine to go with it!  With a growing family of 5, this product would be helpful in so many ways!  I could save thousands of dollars a year with this product.  Thanks!

I could probably save hundreds dollars per year by buying meats, vegetables and fruits on sale that could be sealed and frozen. It would eliminate trips to the grocery store too! I would love to win one! Thanks!

I already like Foodsaver on FB!

I would probably save around $300-400 easily and that’s just an estimated, educated guess.  Depending on sales, coupons and stacking, it could really be way more than that!  I only estimated 50% savings off $2/day for meat for 365 days.  You and I both know that is doable and then some! :)

this is THE top item on my husbands christmas list!!  i’d’ project us (family of 4) saving $200 alone in freezer burned thorw aways, and another $1000-1200 in buying in bulk, in season, and on sale/ special.  I’m trying to get this rotation down and the food saver would be key to our suscess!!

I can save $2800 a year with this FoodSaver easily! The added features of canning, vacuum sealing containers and marinade infusion would keep the FoodSaver in continuous operation in my household. Pick me so I can start saving!!!!!

We could save a lot of money with a food saver. We garden and freeze a lot of our vegetables but then we deal with useing it before the freezer burns it.
My husband and boys also hunt and this would really help with sealing the meat they bring home. It would probalby save us hundreds of dollars. I would so love to win it.
Thanks
Monique

I could save $200-300 per year.   I would love to have one!

I estimate that I would save a small amount of money and would save a large amount of time- which these days is priceless!

If I already owned one of these I would have saved about $300 already.  That is about how much food I have thrown away this year because of freezerburn.

I liked them and left a message on Facebook also.

I liked Food Saver on Facebook

Pick me, pick me.   I would love one of these.   My parents had one similar years ago and it was great.   I have always wanted one.  This would save me so much money.   Less freezer burns, able to store veggies……

Liked them on FB too!

I would save about $200 a year.  I have to throw away food at once a month that has gone bad in the freezer.  This would be an awesome way to save money!

I’m sure I could save about $1,000 or so.  Not only would I be able to save meat longer, but I could also use it to seal cheeses, open bags of cereal (because you know that the kids never remember to close the bags/boxes of cereal), and certain veggies that tend to wilt quickly.  This means you can buy MORE of the foods that are on sale, so that you don’t have to pay extra later!  I would LOVE to have one of these!

Oh wow, have always wanted to try this…I have a friend who loves hers!  I know I could save soooo much $$$ freezing meats.  Im always hesitant to freeze meats because of just what you said, once they have freezer burn who want to eat that!?!?! uuugh.  I’d love to win this :)

Maybe $200 if not more.  I would be tickled saving any amount:)

I estimate that I could easily save $200/year on freezing fresh fruits & veggies.  I would love to win this for my son and daughter-in-law.  Thanks!

Since I live alone, I could save quite a bit of money. I like to buy in bulk for saving but many times my items have freezer burn on them by the time I get a chance to cook them (chicken is the worst!). I have about 3 different “food savers” gadgets but when I go back to buy bags at the store, the bags are usually discontinued.  FoodSaver has been around for a long time and I know I wouldn’t have problems finding replacment bags for it.  My parents have had one for many years and just won’t give it up to me!!!
 

We would probably save around $400. We live in a rural area with great farmers markets but when I freeze veggies/fruit they always go bad before we use them. As for the meat I love to buy in bulk and power cook. I can’t wait to try this product

I could save about $ 300-400 a year not only I’ve thrown away meats but lots of veggies too… I use a lot of expensive resealable bags, and still my food gets spoiled or freeze burned! :(
I really could give  good use to one of this!!!! :D

We would probably save one hundred dollars or so with this system.  My husband takes dreaded frozen meals to work sometimes and this would be cheaper and healthier!

We don’t end up throwing away much food, I usually only buy one week of meat at a time for fear of wasting. I would love to be able to buy more and save the gas of weekly store trips! I would say I could save about $500 at least with the FoodSaver :)

I liked FoodSaver on Facebook :)

I’m sure my savings would minimally be in the hundreds with the amount of freezer burnt food I have to throw away!  I’d really love to have one of these!

This would save me over $100 a year I’m sure!

Foodsaver + Me= Moneysaver changing bulk food buying behavior. What a glorious food saviour, sealing in flavor for me and my family to savor

I liked them on FB.

this would save me thousands of dollars i am sure!  we eat venison and i have to throw out a lot due to freezer burn.  this would save me not only the cost in storage bags, but in meat as well!  I could REALLY use this especially with hunting season just around the corner!! :)

Since I got a fridge and a frezzer, I guess I can save around $1200

Gosh, it’s hard to know how much we would save! We could get manager’s specials at a discount and freeze away. I’m betting we’d be able to save close to $500!

We would probably save about $800 in a year

This would be awesome to own!!  I know that I could save a lot of money using this very pretty food saver.  Some of my friends have one and theirs is not as slim line as this one and theirs takes up a lot of room on the counter.  I sure would like to own this Food Saver.  Thank you for giving us the opportunity to win this machine.

For my husband and myself, I imagine we can save $200 or so a year by being able to buy meat at its rock bottom price.  I also think I can simplify my life by marinating and freezing my meats.

I am not sure excatly how much we would save but it would be alot. And as long as we save i feel I am doing good. As a stay at home Mommy of 4 that is what our family has to do!! Thank you for the chance to win!!

I’v]e wanted a FoodSaver for a long time.  I cold save at least $500.00 a year.

I regularly freeze meats, breads, desserts, herbs from my garden and veggies.  I’ve been afraid to try fruits because of the “freezer burn” issue, but I have a friend who got one of these, and it hasn’t been an problem at all for him.  Would love to win one for myself :)!  I buy at least $20 worth of fressh produce a week and sometimes we don’t quite eat it all up before it turns so this would save me quite a few dollars from spoilage.  Plus I would be able to buy more produce in bulk when it is on sale and freeze it safely, so that would add up to quite a bit more.  I had once figured having one of these foodsaver kits would save me around $200, so it would definately cover the cost it would be even better to win it!

I liked Foodsaver on FB!

I ‘like” FoodSaver on Facebook.

I think I could save about $500 a year using the FoodSaver.  I like to buy fresh local produce and this would be a great way to freeze fruits and vegetables.  There would be big savings on meat since it could be purchased in the family sized packs at lower cost and frozen in smaller packages.

I think I’d be able to save easily $100 I am super picky w/ meat!!! This would be awesome!  

I want food saver for a while its on my birthday wish list and christmas, it would save so much money if i had one. I freeze evrything from meats, veggies, fruits breads, dairy products.

I would say around $1,000.00 a year because i buy meats in bulk for my family of four. I always buy fresh fruits and vegetables too and would love to try to freeze them with FoodSaver Vacuum Seal System because they always get bad in my refrigerator. I have not tried freezing them with ziploc because of the freezer burn. I am praying to win this! Thank you!

Easy…Probably at least $200.00 just in meat alone! Maybe morejust because of getting rid of freezer bags!

I love to buy meat in bulk when I have a little extra cash and give it to my family to help them stock up for winter.  The Foodsaver would be great because it would help the meat stay fresher longer.  I would estimate I could probably save around $500 a year.

I would love a food saver!  My family could save at least $500 if not more just storing meat when buying on sale since my husband is mr steak and potatoes.  Since I love to shop at farmers markets, it would be great to follow your example and freeze produce when it is in season so that we can enjoy it all year!

Awesome!  I think we would probably save around $50 – $75 a year with this.  We don’t usually freeze meat because once it is in the freezer, I almost always leave it in there so long that it gets freezer burn and I have to throw it out. 

we freeze a lot of food and my hubby has really been wanting to try this i would think a year we would save at least $1000 for my family of 6 and i liked foodsaver on fb thanks :)

Wow, I would save alot.  I (we) waste so much food!

I just decided to start doing the bulk of my cooking via freezer method. I have the initial plans (cooking day set, shopping list for sale items and recipes) and this little prize would put the icing on the cake! I think I can reduce our food budget at least $200 monthly this way for a savings of $1200 yearly! Once you factor in incidentals that would have normally made the trash due to freezer burn, I am sure the number will be even higher!!! I SO would love to have this as I start this new cooking journey!

I think I could save at least $2,000 a year in buying bulk meat alone! Meat is the one thing I have not mastered at discount and I think its because I have no way to properly store my meat!

I have a teen age daughter with learning disabilities and have been told to teach her life skills which includes cooking. This machine would be great for her to learn to seal and protect the food we buy on sale. She already helps me with my coupons and loves to find the clearance items at the store before I do. With a family of 6 I am sure it would save us a great deal allowing us to buy in bulk and not worry about it going bad. Thanks

We have a family of 3 – hubby, mother and I – and we are all trying to save money and eat healthy.  So, we are really trying to maintain portion control.  With a Foodsaver we would still be able to buy our “Family Size” packages of meat and separate them into smaller portions.  I have also been wanting to learn to can and have been looking at various ways to do canning and freezing for vegetable.  I keep meaning to look into buying bushels of fresh vegetables to either can or freeze and this Foodsaver would work wonderfully for this.  We could probably save hundreds of dollars a year on meats and fresh vegetables.  Thanks for offering this contest!

Probably well over a $1000 easy!  Getting to freeze veggies would be a plus!

Considering if I’m able to freeze many of my dishes and keep it under good quality with my foodsaver, I would probably save $50 a month and receive a ton of Quality time to spend with my two kids after I get home from my full time job.

I would save a countless amount to store dried fruits from our trees and garden…  This would be such a blessing!  Thanks Jenny for all you do.

We would save around $300-$400. We freeze a lot. So much that I had to recently purchase an extra freezer. I would love to have this!
 

We would save probably about $400-$500 and possibly even more. I just got a deep
freezer and with this Foodsaver vacumn sealer kit, I would be able to purchase a
quarter of a cow from a local farmer and get the meat portioned and vacumned
sealed. It actually costs $1 more a pound when you have them package it. So that
alone is about $300 in savings just for beef! I’m actually so excited thinking
about the possibilities…I could buy veggies/fruit in season and freeze them in
small portion sizes to use each week, seal soup/meal portions to bring to work.
Oh the possibilites!

I think I could save around 500 a year.  The foodsaver would not only keep the food from freezer burn but it will also take up less space, therefore allowing me to freeze up more foods at great prices!!!

Would love a FoodSaver V3880, I waste so much food.  I think I could save at least $50 – $75 per month.  I need it so bad.

Would love to have one to try. $300 a year.

I think it would save me about $600, but I may be off by a lot!  Who knows what deals I could freeze or break into smaller bags to store.  Cheeses could last longer!  We cook pumpkin & freeze garden beans – they would taste better frozen in a foodsaver.

I think I’d say around $400 a year if I had a FoodSaver!

At least $300-$400 per year. We are always throwing away blocks of mouldy cheese & freezer burned packs of meat.

I think I could save around 500 or more a year.  Simply b/c my food would not get freezer burn, but also it saves space in the freeze allowing me to freeze more great foods that I get at great prices!!!

I have always wanted one of these! I’m sure I would save a couple hundred dollars a year at least! I would love to try marinating like you said before freezing! :)

 I would use it to seal veggies fresh from the garden and repackage meat. I’m guessing I would save about $750 year.

I like foodsaver

i would probably save at least a $1,000. my husband and i were just talking about putting in a garden and getting one of the food savers. it would be perfect. fresh veggies and meat sealed perfectly and ready when i am.

I have always wanted one. Just think of all the things you could preserve by using it. Was thinking of buying one of those hand pumps, but would love to win this.

My Mom has a system similar to this & will give me items she has sealed using. It is amazing how fresh the frozen foods are regardless of the age. I waste food repeatedly by not being able to use it before it is freezer burnt. This would be awesome to help save money in this economy where you need to stretch every penny to its max.

we would probably save hundreds between our house and my husband’s farm-to-table restaurant

Having a foodsaver would be awesome!  I always buy meat in bulk.  I know I would save at least $500 a year!

Hundreds from the food that doesn’t get thrown out bc it’s gone bad.  We love ours!

I think I could save at least $500 a year with a Foodsaver.  I throw away so much frozen meat.  It’s very discouraging since I know I got a great deal on it.  It’s like throwing money away!

I would love to win the FoodSaver V3880 Vacuum Sealer Kit, I would save $300-$400 a year, plus eat much healthier by freezing fresh fruits and vegetables while they are in season.  Jenny thanks for all of the money saving tips and your hard work to help everyone save money.

I would save probably $300 or so a year

I like food saver on FB

I would say I would save over $500.  My husband fished a ton and hunts as well.  The more meat I can safely put up the less I have to spend at the grocery store.  

my husband and i are trying to get a closet set up for bad times.we have learned some canning and are into gardening now too.we could save atleast a few thousand a year,this would so help my family out.been wanting one but have not been able to buy one yet.thanks for all you do on this site to help us all save.

I could save over $500, I am sure of it! Not only for frozen meats, it would be awesome for feezing veggies!

We could save tons of money with a foodsaver.  My friend loves her’s but like you said, I have a hard time justifying the expense. 

I really want a FoodSaver, I’m sure I can save up to $300.00 a year!!  Enter me!! 

I think i will save about $850 if not more a year with this machine, could use it to save most on my freezer. ;)

This is sooo! great.  
Unfortunately I throw away more than I should even with all my coupon efforts, I know I could save over $3,000 in a year.  After Christmas I threw away so much, that I decided to keep track for three months to see what I averaged.I had thrown away  $249!! OMG!  It made me ill and also gave me a wakeup call. I have tried freezer bags but :( they don’t really work. I have looked at them but they are a little pricey. Then I thought well. I am throwing away the money I could spend on the foodsaver.

I think I could save hundreds by using the foodsaver. I have always wanted one of these!

I “liked” FoodSaver and commented so on there page.

I could probably save almost $1000 dollars. It would also allow me to buy a lot more than what we eat and stock up on produce. My dad likes to hunt, so I could store meat for him too!!

I could save at least $1000 per year. I also liked on facebook.

We have a garden every year and I get so tired of freezer bags not closeing completely and my once fresh frozen vegatables are no more. I need this FoodSaver to help me save my garden and my marraige

I have had a foodsaver unit for over 3 yrs now, and I simply couldn’t live without it! We buy steaks in bulk when our IGA and Bi-Lo have them on sale – also snow crab legs – so that saves us a ton of money.  We have a large garden (1.25 acres) and I have canned and bagged tomatoes, peas, collards, turnip & mustard greens, etc.  Also great for individually freezing and then bagging jalapeno, banana and habanero peppers!  I also put up about 2 bushels of peaches and 8 gallons of blackberr. . also red & green bell peppers!  My foodsaver has saved me well over $2,000.00 in the time I’ve had it.  Got leftover spaghetti sauce, chili, soup, etc? Freeze it in serving size butter bowls and then dump it out in a foodsaver bag!  Also, prime rib. . . . yum!  We raise and butcher our hogs, grind, case and smoke sausage, etc. . . you can use the foodsaver for anything!!!! Would love to win a new one. . . and donate my old one to our church kitchen!!!  Excellent also for resealilng – pop tarts, cereal bags, chip bags, etc.  A Million uses!!!!!

I would love to be able to stock up on summer veggies for the winter, definitely would help us save money.

I KNOW I COULD SAVE ABOUT $500 DOLLARS PER YEAR USING THIS EQUIPMENT

In an entire year…no  telling how many hundreds i could save!!!

A FoodSaver sounds wonderful…As a retiree…I think we could realize at least $300 dollars every year with it.  Would love to have one of these FoodSavers.

I’d probably save a few hundred dollars–no more throwing out frost-bitten food.
,

My mother-in-law has a Foodsaver and I want one so bad!! I know I could save at least 200 bucks!

I bet I could save several hundred a year for sure. I have a friend that loves hers not only for freezing but also for produce. She said it keeps longer in the fridge that way.

I could save $1500 easily…I am horrible about wasting food – meat especially.  Our savings would be incredible.  I have wanted a FoodSaver for a LONG time…not only for food, but for storing everyday things – Qtips and matches for camping, excess cottonballs under the sink to save space, etc…there are so many uses for a FoodSaver! 

I could save $1,800 for real if freezer burn wasn’t an issue!  I love FOODSAVER!

$1,372. Yes that is a totally random figure but I’m sure by vacuum sealing my meat I could seriously stock up and preserve “reduced for quick sale” meat from Ingles.

I think I could save $600.00 a month.  My family deer hunts and we have our meat processed.  We put it in the freezer and eat it all year. The foodsaver would help us save money on freezer bags!

I think I could easily save $500 a year.  My husband and I make our dinners in batches and freeze them anyway.  It would be great to have stuff last longer in the freezer!

My husband and I have been looking at food saver systems for years but can not really afford one.  Would love to have this system to save on some of the food we’ve had to toss because of freezer burn.

I liked foodsaver on FB.

At least $500.  With 3 kids 4 and under, I try to prep things way in advance, so using this system to better preserve freezer meals, chopped veggies, cheese, meat, etc would be awesome.

I could probably save couple hundred, ($500+) since we eat a lot of produces and meat. My hubby love fishing! the foodsaver would help us freeze the fish without being spoiled and neatly organize in our freezer!

I could save easliy $100 or more a month on buying meat, veggies and cheese in bulk.  I have been wanting a Foodsaver but just never the right time to get it.  Oh how I would love to win it!

$500 I love watching them on the shopping networks!

I also liked them on facebook!

I think I could save at least $200 a year with a Foodsaver just by being better able to double up on cooking and freezing leftovers so we don’t have that night where we’re too lazy to actually cook and go out to dinner instead.

I know we could save $1000s! We had an old foodsaver and loved it, but then it stopped working. We have been looking to get a new one but the price is over our budget. We would love to be able to food vac our homegrown vegetables, beef from a full cow we buy from our neighbors and the venison that we put up in our freezer each year.

At least 500.00 a year.  maybe one of these days I will break down and buy myself one.

I could easily save $750 a year! I would purchase more reduced for quick sale meat and really load up at the Farmer’s Market.No more freezer burn on my squash:) Also, the Foodsaver is so attractive, I could leave it out on my counter for easy access.

If I could keep the food I am buying now from getting freezer burn and molding in the fridge then I would really be saving at least $2400 annually. I could also be stocking up on fresh produce and thats an even bigger savings. I really need one of those Foodsavers.  

I think you could save $1000! It would make life sooo much easier and be able to make more room in your freezer!

I have no idea, maybe $200?

I think I could save $250

I would love to win this!  I bet with my family of 6 we could easily save $1,000 per year!

I also like Food Saver on Facebook

I think I could save a few hundred dollars a year with this system. With a 20mth old a husband in nursing school and a baby on the way, every penny I can save helps big time .

I can’t tell you how many times I have had to throw food away as well….we would probably save $100-$200 per year.  Of course, I might start to freeze veggies if I had one of these!

I have heard wonderful things about the food saver!!! Putting fresh vegetables from the garden along with sales on meats….I could save over a $1000.00 per year!!!

Well, with a family of 6, I could save probably $100′s of dollars with a FoodSaver. We have started buying local pasture-fed beef. We buy 1/2 a cow at a time & that’s a lot of meat to package & freeze! We also have a large garden where we grow our own organic veggies. And don’t forget the fresh caught fish from my hubby! We definitely have lots of reasons to ‘save the food’ from freezer burn. ;) Thanks, Jenny!

This Texas Yelllow Rose would get all worked up if she could rope in one of ther’ FoodSaver Vacuum Seal Systems! After a long day on the coupon trail (thankee to the fine ladies @ Southern Savers) I lit out for home to find my fixins are all catty whompas and won’t fit in a darn thing unless I pole-axed ‘em. I am plum wore out messing with these whomperjawed other systems that are all hat and no cattle. With 12 youngins’, 2 lazy hounds, a few crusty ole’ ranch hands this Southern Lady would be savin a fir piece of gold maybe en’ hunderds walkin in tall cotton with those yearly savins.

I “liked” FoodSaver on Facebook.

I liked them on FB.  :-)

I could save up to $1,000.00 per year. I could purchase lrge quantities at a wholesale warehouse grocery and do well with freezing in smaller quantites.

I bet I could save several hundred dollars with this food saver.  I hate wasting food, especially in this economy.  I try so hard to save money that it pains me when I have to throw away freezer dried food or veggies that have gone bad before I could use them.  This would be great!

I am a new stay at home mommy who quit teaching first grade, due to expecting our baby girl in Nov. & having an active 15 month baby boy running around.  My guess is that our family waste about $500 a year on freezer burnt food.   I would treasure having a Food Saver in our home to help us make a new tight budget even easier to manage!  :)

This is awesome, I have been wanting one of these.

I would love to have a freezer saver because we like to eat lots of fruit in our home, but fruit as we all know goes bad very quickly. This would be great for freezing as well as meat.

I’m sure I’d save at least $300 annually using the Foodsaver.

I think I’d save at least $100 in storage and freezer burned food.

The Foodsaver is awesome!   No more freezer burn! I’ve bought one as a gift…now I need one for ME!

I know I would save at least $350 in a year use the FoodSaver!

I could probably save several hundred dollars! Love your idea about prepping the food first then freezing. what a time saver!!

I like foodsaver on Facebook!

I would love to have a food saver, we try to save money every way that we can, we grow our own vegetables and some fruits and with the food saver it would be so much easier to freeze them in the freezer specially since the only freezer we have have is the one above the fridge. And with a family of five I have to by in bulk when it comes to meat but of course we do not need to cook every single peace of meat at one meal and the rest thats not cooked gets put in freezer bag but always forgotten in the back of freezer and when I finally get to it what do you know freezer burn. So yes I would love to have one.

No more freezer burned food?  I could save $100s!

We use a lot of cheese, but I don’t like how the outside gets soggy when I thaw it.  I could save a lot of money by being able to stock up on things like that.  I’d say I could save $200 or more.

This would be awesome! We grow a big garden every spring/summer and freeze a ton of veggies. Would love for them to not get freezer burn! I also buy meat in bulk and repackage into ziplocs, so this would save us in that department too!

Hi! I am on my sec. foodsaver and would not be without one. Had the last one for about ten years now, so it’s time to get a new one. You will save thousands if you buy in bulk. No freezer burn ever on anything I have sealed. As a matter of fact had gornish game hens last night that I sealed and froze 2 years ago! If you got the mason jar sealer with yours try it for your spices and herbs etc. It will extend their life as well.
Have fun playing! :)

I liked FoodSaver

We a family of six and each week our bill is roughly $180.00 averaging.I normally buy ziploc bags to store any meats that I don;t cook like chicken, ground beef. Only to later on have to throw out because its freezer burn. So in reality I’m not saving and I would say that I can estimate the total saving. I can only dream about it and have wishful thought. Wow that would really be grand/great
 

To be honest, I don’t even have an estimate!  I tend to run to the store when I need something and buying in bulk only happens every once in a while.  I’d love to start keeping track of how many times I DON’T have to run to the store and how much I SAVE from my FoodSaver!

You can save a ton, not sure how to estimate.  I have wore my out (10+) years.  I food saver meats, veggies, cheese, onions, soups (if you freeze first).  All kinds of things.  Need a new one!

There is no doubt that I would save thousands! With something like this, the sky is the limit. I could save so many items from my garden. I am sure that it would keep herbs fresh for winter cooking.

Also, I like to hit Kroger for reduced price meat to freeze. Often I break them up into meal sized portions and freeze. This would be a great way to protect these types of items and get your meat for half off retail.

Hummm….now my head is spinning with ideas of what I could seal….

I would save a ton!!! In a year probably in the 1000′s! I have a nice size freezer that I already use, but I am afraid to stock up on too much because if it stays there too long then it will be freezer burned. I would be able to have a good stock of meat put away, so I wouldn’t be buying just because my husband says he wants pork tonight!! Then when garden time comes around next year I would have a great way to keep my veggies!  It would be so awesome….of course if it works a well as it says it’s supposed to!  Would love to have one!!!!!

I could easily save over $400 a year with a foodsaver.  My dad has sworn by this handy gadget for years, but I’ve never been able to splurge for one in my home.  My sweet dad always brings me a cooler full of vacuum sealed food when my parents come for a visit and everything stays fresh for months on end. I would love to be able to stock up on meats when they are on sale and it’s a dream to try my hand at homemade baby food.   I want to put an end to freezer burn and an end to wastefulness.

I don’t know that we’d save any money, but we sure would save our appetites!  I am too cheap to throw out food, so we’ve had some less than savory meals.  We also freeze a lot of veggies from our garden and I’d love to be able to buy fewer ziplocks!

I would probably save about $500/year. 

I would save a lot of time and money.  I wouldn’t have to throw out meat that has gone bad and I would save buy being able bigger trays and spiting them up.  There is only the two of us during the school year, so having meat and vegetable put into single or serving for two would be wonderful.

A foodsaver would be a great way to save my husband and I $500 to $1000 a year! No more wasting food and money due to freezer burn.

I think having a foodsaver system would save me $20-$50 per month, plus I won’t be wasting food – which is priceless!

I liked Foodsaver on Facebook – thanks for the coupon code!

I am stunned how many comments are about not being able to afford a Food Saver, but then comment on how much food you throw out due to freezer burn…….how can you NOT afford one! 

I thnk we could probably save around $250.00 a year…wow…that’s a lot!

I know I would save some money.  My husband and I plant a garden every year, and I always tell him I would like to have something like the Foodsaver.  We put most of our vegetables in the freezer.  It would definitely help with space in our freezer, therefore I could put up more vegetables and saving more money in the long run.  I also like to put leftovers in the freezer, so I feel I would save a couple hundred dollars a year.

I don’t know exactly how much I could save, but I know it would be a lot! I already grow a lot of my own produce to save money, and I put away a lot of it. Freezing and canning only get me so far though. No matter what kind of freezer bags I use, things still get freezer burned. I think vacuum sealing would be the way to go & I’d love to win one!

Between buying in bulk and having a food saver I believe I could save $500.00 dollars a year.

I’m guessing we could save around $400-$500 a year! Which means we could defintely use one of these! 

Oh Man! I have been wanting one of these!  I think we could save $50 or more dollars a month in just freezer burn!!

With five children and a never ending parade of all of their friends..who never leave :) it would be substantial! With a family our size buying in bulk is our only hope to feeding our family on our budget. Soooo…..PICK ME!!! This would be AMAZING!!!

We’d probably save around $50, we try really hard not to throw anything out, but occasionally something does slip out of sight and gets freezer burn. Thanks!

Oh Man!  I have been wanting one of these for a LONG time!!!  I think we could save $600 a year in freezer burn alone!

I think I could save about $250 a yr with a FOODSAVER.  Hope I win!! (and I’ll let you know)

I would definitely use this for the freezer, but I am thinking of all the produce, cheese, and leftovers this would also save me on.  My guess would be around $5 a week which would equal $260 a year just in those items.  I would probably double that for freezer savings which would total $620 each year in savings.  That would be awesome!!!

We would save at least $200! I’ve wanted one of these forever!

I just moved into an apartment with my sister and we could save a lot of money with one of these! I would guess about $300

It would save us hundreds of dollars and come in real handy with our garden in the summer followed by deer season in the fall/winter. 

Wow.  This would be amazing.  I often buy meat in bulk, but sometimes it goes bad before I can get to cooking it.  This would save me hundreds of dollars a year – which would come in handy as I just stopped working to stay home with my 19 month old.  Wow! again.

I would love this!! I’ve actually been thinking about asking around to see if anyone has one that I can borrow to use for pre packing foods for after our girls come. I imagine between not buying saran, ziploc bags and foil, and saving more on meat, etc because I could buy more on sale and save….probably at least $300 a year.

Approximately 577.28!  :)

I could probably save around $500.  I buy meat in bulk for my husband and me as well as my daughter who is in college.  Sometimes my daughter lets hers stay in the freezer too long and winds up throwing things away.  A Foodsaver would solve that!

I can’t imagine how much I could save on meat if I had one of these!! And wow I just realized there are already 821 comments and the post is only a few hours old. Way to go, Jenny!!

I “like”d them :) on facebook.

I can not imagine how much I could save – but I sure hope I will be able to tell ya in a year!  I have actually been waiting on you to post a good buy on one of these, but free is better!  Good Luck to everyone.

I think we would save at least $50 on freezer bags and at least $200 on food that has to be thrown out.  

I liked FoodSaver on FB.

For mt family of 6 I would guesstimate anywhere from 500-800. I would love to have this!! Good luck y’all!!

I like foodsaver on facebook

I will save at least 100-200 dollars on food and 40-50 on ziploc bags per year

I haven’t done a lot of freezing in the past because I don’t have a lot of freezer space.  I would feel more comfortable using the small space I have if I knew that the food wasn’t going to get freezer burnt so quickly.

Would love to win the FoodSaver!  I have just started buying all my meat at a local butcher shop and they give great discounts if you buy in l bulk (~30%) off.

I have saved hundreds over past 5 years on Cereal bags and Chip bags!  I love mine however my sealer is on it’s last leg and would love to win a new upgraded model!

I could probably save $250 to $350 a year.  What a great idea to go ahead and season before freezing.

Liked and commented on Facebook (it wasn’t totally clear whether we need to comment there when liking or here, or both?).

I would really like to win this my other unit is almost dead!!!!!I only wish I could find a deal on the sealing bags.

I would love to have one of these. Use freezer bags all the time to freeze banana for smoothies, hamburger patties and fresh veggies   

Oh I want this! I think I could save more than $300 a year. We grow a vegetable garden and this would be a HUGE help!

I could probably save $1000 for sure. Thanks for the giveaway!

I haven’t quite mastered cooking for one. So, I over cook alot. usually I either get tired of eating the something over & over or it gets freezer burn. So I probably would save at least $500-600 a year cause I won’t be throwing good food away and I”lll be able to buy bulk packages of meat again.

I bet I could save about $400 a year!!!!

I’ve liked them on FB!

This would be great!  Its hard to buy in bulk for 2 people and I have to cook for one alot since my fiance works nights so this would be wonderful to have!  I think we could easily save $300-500 a year.  

Oops, forgot to leave my email address…I liked them on FB!  lori.a.ferguson at gmail.com

I so need one on these
Just think of all the things I could freeze!!
My mind cannot stop turning
No more freezer burning!!
Oh the money I could save
Please Southern Saver
Won’t you make my day!!

I would save at least a couple hundred!

I bet I could save $100..I get very frustrated when I open meat and find it’s gotten freezer burn.ahhhhh. this would be awesome to have

we try really hard to rotate through our frozen meat and eat everything we have, but this would help ensure things last longer.. i’m not sure how much i would save but it would give me peace of mind :)

I bet I could save ALOT of money on groceries.  Especially with meat.  It would last longer in the freezer being sealed like that, so I could buy more when it’s on sale. 

I too would love to try one of these to save $$$!  I am thinking I could save $500 a year by buing a half a cow, then freezing the butchered meat!  Whacha think?

I am sure I could save 500 dollars on foods that normally spoil.

OH MY… The possibilities with these units would be endless!!! Food Storage and freezing alone would be wonderful! then the marinating, YUMMO!! With a family of 6 we never know if there will be 6 at the table or just two at a time so it would really cut down on wasted food. And preparing food to pack for camping you wouldn’t have to worry about zipper bags leaking.  

My husband added his excitement would be in being able to oil and then pack up his old family treasured guns. They would then be protected form the oxidation that occurs form storage. 

I could easily see us saving over $600 a year on groceries and protecting my husbands heirloom guns would be priceless to him. Thinking out of the box there are so many ideas coming to me…. sealing paints so they don’t dry out, paint brushes when you are the middle of a project and picking back up tomorrow, h (hmmmm) i wonder if it would help keep the markers that i got for free at Walgreens keep from drying out while I use them in the stock pile, making home made ice packs that wont leak, could seal candles to keep the scent longer….. WOW it would be so much fun to experiment with all kinds of things!!!

Like FoodSaver on faceBook :)

I am sure I could save hundreds every year by having a food saver! I could by more of the meat specials and not have to worry about FREEZER BURN.  The marinating idea sounds awesome, would love to give that a try!

i think i could probably save around a 1,000….you can freeze meats, vegetables from the garden, leftovers!!! i would love to have one!! thanks for the opportunity!!!!

I have never used one of these neat gadgets so I have no idea how much money I would save but…I am going to guess between $300 – $500.

Would love to try them!

probably well over 500 dollars a year by using one of these

I have wanted one of these for so long – ever since I started couponing.  We generally split all our meat packages into smaller portions and freeze them.  This would be so much better!  We also blanch and freeze extra fresh veg from our garden – just started gardening this summer and I LOVE it!  No more overprice peppers at the grocery store!  I think by freezing all my veggies and splitting my meat into usable portions I would potentially save hundreds of dollars.

Probably around $500 for a family of 2

I have been looking at food savers and would love to have this beautiful FoodSaver model.  My freezer is small and things must be stacked.  Sometimes I get freezer burn and have to toss items; such a waste of money.  This would probably save hundreds of dollars every year.

As an aside just wanted to let you know your hard work in find all the deals for coupons, freebies and give-aways is very much appreciated.  Thanks.

I know this item would save hundreds of dollars. I like to buy in bulk when on sale and freeze smaller portions for later.

I look at and covet this machine at least once a week.  I need this and want this more than an Ipad.  I am sure I could save hundreds, not sure how many.  I shy away from buying too much meat, afraid of freezer burn. Problem solved with this.

I buy in bulk due to having 2 teenage and a husband who really like to eat.  I end up throwing half of my frozen foods away if my family doesn’t get to them all.  Which is a lot since we are a busy family.  I would say hundreds of dollars would be saved.  Thank you!

I would save about $1,500.00 in a year using FoodSaver.

I would save about $1,500.00 per year with the FoodSaver.

I’d save oodles and oodles! Think I might even give the ol’ man a chance to use this gadget!

I have a 2 yr old on a restricted diets and meats are her main source she can have. I would save TONS by not having to throw away the fish she eats but the rest of us don’t (YUCK!) I can prepackage meals into smaller packages and one use what we need! With 3 kids in the house they are picky on what they will eat! I haven’t really kept track of what I’ve spent because the youngest HAS to eat so I would say in the $1,000-$2,000 range!

I’m not sure how much money I would save, but I know it would be a lot!!!

I would save hundreds of dollars with this. We like to go to the meat market to stock up but I throw so much away due to freezer burn. And I liked them on FB too!

I could save sooooo much with this.  I would love to vacuum seal steaks (especially already marinated ones) and fish for quick, non-freezerburned dinners:)

I could save a fortune.  We do a lot of hunting and it would keep the meat fresh much longer.  Thanks

Well let’s see…I have six people on a normal night to feed.  However when my son has friends over or other family members come over..there are alot of people to feed.  So the foodsaver would help me pack meat according to how much I may need on any given night. Meal for 6,10 or one day…2.  It could also help me divide between lunch and dinner…One person doesnt eat pork so I could do individual meat pac.  So I would say the foodsaver could save me alot because I could buy in bulk,freeze only the meat I need for different meals…no waste and no plate full of leftover meat.  And since meat is my most expensive purchase in a month…let’s make that $1200.00/year.

Wow this is a tough question however I think that when I go back to work this would save hundreds because I could vaccum seal meals for the entire week made into portions for the whole family or just individuals plus I could take them to work and not eat out for lunch. Thank you sooooooo much. Rachel Wingert rachelwingert@hotmail.com

Oh easily a couple hundred dollars on meat!

I’m thinking we could save at least a couple of hundred dollars a year using this, so I’d be beyond thrilled to win this!

My brother planted a huge garden this year. We went through hundreds of freezer storage bags. The foodsaver would have been a Godsend. In addition, It looks like I have a lot of freezer burned meat in my freezer. Between the garden vegetables and the spoiled meat, I could probably save a couple of hundred dollars a year.

Easily a few hundred dollars. We had a cheap version of one a couple years ago, but it died. Saved us on meat.

Just finished saving up and bought a freezer would Love to have a FoodSaver. always wanted to try one.

i always have to buy plastic storage bags and sometimes threw frozen meats/vegetables out, because o freezer burn. I dont have a ball park figure but i know i would save, and i wanted a foodsaver, its exactly what it says ’ a foodsaver.”

I could save hundreds i am sure.  I would feel confident to stock up on meat, when on sale and then with the hundreds I saved I could get an ipad.

I could save at least 100.00 with this! This would have come in handy when my husband was catching wild salmon in Alaska!

Maybe $100 savings?

I would love to get a food saver.I would save about $350.00 a year by sealing my meats in them. The cheese would last longer too!!!!!!!!!!!!Sealing chips, cereal or anything to keep from spoiling!!!!!!!!

With this foodsaver product, I estimate I can save over $500 per year. The foodsaver would allow me to purchase meat products in bulk rather than by the piece increasing the amount saved on the meat products I purchase. I had an old Seal-A-Meal which finally gave up and am in need of a replacement…The foodsaver is by far rated heads above any other brand on the market. I would love to have this foodsaver.

I would love to have one of these!  I could probably save about $500 a year by making my own pre-packaged meals. 

I think I would save close to 500 a year. Currently we buy boneless Skinless chicken breasts in bulk at Sams and We freeze them usually a Case can last me almost 6 months. So this would help with the freezer burn on them

With 2 small kids in the house the foodsaver could save hundreds of dollars. what I would like to be able to do is freeze finished meal since I like to cook a lot on the weekends.

Likeing it on Facebook too! :)

We have the world’s smallest freezer and could save 200 or more by have this space saving tool!

i could save alot by being able to buy in bulk and not having everything get freeze burned.  I think i could save easily $300-500 a year if not more.

This thing would save me probably over a 1000 or more a year due to the fact that the nearest store is 35 miles away and i only get paid every 2 weeks so i have to buy in bulk and i end up throwing away more than we eat due to freezer burn :(  single mom with 4 kids it sure takes alot especially with 3 boys

liked it on FB too!

Not only will I save money but I like to bag extra meat, etc. for my children and send it home with them. When I buy in bulk I like to divide it up and freeze. We also deer hunt and packaging meat is really important. Freezer burn is the pits!
