Title: Vacuum Rolls or bags
Post by: zephyr on September 29, 2017, 04:52:05 PM
Hey Bentley, can we still get a discount on Vacuum rolls or bags with this new group, like we did on the old one?   .................................. ZEP

I do not remember the thread, I just bought $40 worth, so it sure would have been nice!  Do you remember any more about it?  Larry must have had stuff going on the side I had no idea about...Way to go Larry!

I think it was another member, at the time, on the other site, that gave us a discount if we told him we were from the other site.  I can't remember, I think the guy that sold them

was from or was VACMASTER.                    ..............................     ZEP

There's a woman on another smoking forum that runs VacuumSealers Unlimited and supplies that forum with monthly discount codes. The bags they carry are excellent quality, and with the discount the prices can usually, but not always,  beat other sites. Bentley I'll send you her contact info via PM.

Just contacted them also, will see if they respond.  But another member mentioned that it might be another company, so I contacted them.  Whether it is or not, Lisa was nice enough to send me this offer.

Hi Bentley,

If the forum members enter the code SM1017 they will receive 10% off all FoodSaver style bags and rolls for the month of October.

Thank you,

I primarily use these 8"—11½" vacuum sealer bags.  My source dried up.

Where's a good place to buy similar, and maybe other sizes?

Well, shoot!  I didn't search 'cause I thought that I would have seen the relevant post.

Mods, you can delete this thread if you like.  There's no point in duplicating.

Lisa and her company are great to deal with, bought many times from them.

Vacmaster never responded to me, so either was not them, or they do not care to share the same discount as they gave Pelletheads.

Get them from Lisa on the other link.  I also use bags from Cabelas when on sale.   ;)

Check out the Home app.  They are crazy cheap, but you have to wait for them to ship from overseas. 

I bought my smoke tube from that app.  If my memory is correct, I think I spent about $12 for it, but had to wait about 2 weeks to get it.

My problem with this source is that they don't seem to have 11 1/2" wide bags or rolls. I use the wider bags for brisket.

Does 1/2" make that much difference?

They have rolls in 8, 11, and 15 inch widths.

Their bags come in 6x10, 8x12, and 11x14 inches.

Not a whole lot but it keeps me from having to cut the brisket flats in half. The sealing bar on my Vacmaster Pro140 is only 12" wide so 15" rolls are out of the question. When this unit gives up the ghost, I'm going to acquire a Vacmaster Pro380 that has a 16" bar.

I went to the Vacuum Sealers Unlimited web site.  I started to place a small order.  It totaled $49 and the shipping was $16, that's 25% of the order total.  I didn't complete the order.

They say that their product is much better than the Food Saver items.  And I know that I can lower the prorated shipping if I order more bags and rolls, but I don't need a huge supply.

I thought that some of you may be interested.

 I have not ordered from them in a few years. When I bought the chamber sealer, vacmaster had a sale shortly after for I think 20% off if the order was over certain amounts. I picked up 4 different size pouches 1000 of each size. I have had to buy more 8x12 and soon need 10x13 so I may give them a try on those.

 I used to buy all my bags and rolls from them when I used the foodsaver machine.

I tried the discount code from last month and it didn't work, she used to post a new one every month. it looks like it is 15% off the Ultra bags/rolls.

Maybe after the first of the year she will post one and I will keep an eye out and post it in here if she does.

Check Out of Air https://outofair.com/vacuum-sealer-bags?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA-bmsBhAGEiwAoaQNmht5WqejL4v-zuVQvuqb_0RQOab8GXxNGmwncTUVHQeLS3ZRe5OG8BoCGWgQAvD_BwE
I've been using them years. Free shipping with a $50.00 order. I like the 100 foot rolls and make the size bags I like.

She posted this in the thread on SMF.

Here is your discount code for January and February:

SAVE 15% OFF ALL ULTRA Bags & Rolls

for your FoodSaver, Weston, Cabela's or VacMaster Home Suction Sealers (or any sealer that uses textured bags/rolls)​

Just enter SMFEB24 at checkout and the discount will automatically be applied.

Our ULTRA bags are thicker and more puncture resistant than the brand name bags. I construct them the way I want them, so I use a thicker material.

This sounds like a good deal, but when trying it pops up that the coupon code does not exist.  Plus the S&H raises the cost.

The shipping is pricey.  Check the Out of Air website. Shipping is much less or free on a 50.00 dollar or more order.

I have never seen the 100 ft. in the box with cutter before.  I like that.  Just bought 2 8in x 50 and 2 11in x 50 about 6 months ago, but next time I need em, will get one of each of those.  Just about the same price as I paid for my 100 feet!

Even though the addition of a cutter is a great improvement I personally am still a a fan of the bags.  Over the years i now have it down to where i can get what i need in each size bags with very little waste

I agree, when I used the suction machines I bought premade bags, but had a few rolls for things like whole racks of ribs or if I wanted to do something like a whole butt for some reason.

 Since buying a chamber sealer, bags/pouches are the only choice.
