Great for things that are close to going out of date that are on sale.I agree. I don't hunt, but I used my vacuum sealer just yesterday to seal up some okra for frying this fall and winter when I get to craving it.
I also buy meat in bulk and use it for that too.
The store we grocery shop at had a 5lb block of Wisconsin cheese that was a week away for $8. Snagged it up, divided it into quarters, and vacuum sealed it.
(for the record, expiration dates on food is a joke. It doesn't go bad the day after the date. Federal law only states that baby food must have an expiration date. The date on the cans/bags, etc is for when the company determines that it will taste the freshest, not go bad.)
