Check this one out I just found. It uses a snorkle to suck out the air so you can use regular bags instead of the rediculusly priced vac bags. I think this is the one I'm going with.

BTW, another option if you are on a budget is to get one of these:

http://www.amazon.com/Johnson-Ziploc-Vacuum-Pump-Storage/dp/B001DRNESE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1339170373&sr=8-2

The bags are expensive, but what I do is to buy regular freezer bags.  Then stick the regular freezer bag zipped 90% of the way inside the ziploc vacuum bag.  Vacuum the air out of the ziploc vacuum bag, and it sucks the air out of the regular freezer bag as well. seal the freezer bag inside the rest of the way and you are good to go.

Wow... Great Idea!   I'm gonna have to try this.  Thanks!

There is a bargain outlet in Morgan Hill and I saw some there. Give them a call. I bought a returned coleman portable grill for $120 (originally 199)

Peace!
