FoodSaver FSFRBZ0326 1-Gallon Zipper Food-Storage Bags, 22 Count Review

I wasn't sure I would buy more bags after initially trying the Freshsaver. I already own the "real" Foodsaver and use it often for freezer storage. But I was looking for something to extend the life of opened packages of cheese, meat, and vegetables in the refrigerator. It does not work as well as the "real" vaccuum packaging, but it does remove enough air to give me a few more days before something needs to be thrown away. And I can keep re-opening it and closing it throughout the week.
With the price of fresh produce what it is, the cost of the bags is paid for rather quickly, especially if I get a few uses out of them. I have a sort of a system where I use the bag the first time with a dry product that comes out of the bag with little residue. If I am sealing something smelly and kind of moist (like thinly sliced red onions, which I slice once a week and keep for various uses) I grab a used bag because it is going to smell of onions too much to use another time.
That was the long way of saying that I found I missed having them after running out of my sample bags and I re-ordered. I do keep the Freshsaver Unit right out on the countertop plugged in and ready to go. That is the only way to use it- tucked away in a drawer I would never bother to take it out, plug it in and use the bags as intended.

FoodSaver T020-00024 24-Ounce Lunch-and-Leftover Containers, Set of 3 Review

When I first got these I had difficulty making them work. But then I found that there are some tricks that need to be told for proper use. These are really excellent canisters.
1] When you put food in them you need to make sure all four corners have 'snapped' tight. After placing cover on the bowl and pressing down, press again the individual 4 corners. Usually you will find 1 will 'snap' tightly.
2] Then you take the adapter. Insert the canister fitting into the adapter 'nozzle' and place adapter over vacuum port on canister lid.
3] Press the 'Fast' button if your unit has one, then press canister. You should be able to hear instant vacuuming.
4] When the machine stops, HOLD DOWN THE ADAPTER WITH ONE HAND AND REMOVE THE VACUUM HOSE WITH THE OTHER. tHIS IS CRUCIAL.
5] After the tube has been removed, you can now remove the adapter. Pull up a corner to ensure the seal is perfect (it will be) and VOILA!
All the above sounds much more complicated than it really is. Once you get the hang of it you'll love it and it won't take but a second.
When washing you can out the bowl on the top shelf of the dishwasher NO HEAT. Hand wash the lids. I have been using mine as I instructed above for over a year now and I love these things. I save left over hamburger helper, lasagna, and more and the food always is as fresh as when I sealed it as long as 2 weeks later.
For Easter Ham, we always have LOTS left over. I cut the ham up off the bone and fill 3 of these containers and then freeze them. The seal has lasted almost a month when we had the last one. I was truly amazed. There is a great price here now for close out containers. Save money and stop wasting food and buy some today. Follow my instructions and you will be happy I assure you.
I have not tried to use any of my containers to maranade anything, but I am looking forward to doing so 1 day.

I am very happy with the Easy Find Lid series. They are very good quality. But then, the many, many other reviewers who all also love this set will tell you that.
So here's some information that is harder to find: all the sets of these that I could find available, and the contents of each set, all in one place.
----------
50 piece set (25 containers, 25 lids):
6 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)
6 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)
3 x 2 cups (473 mL)
3 x 3 cups (710 mL)
3 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)
2 x 7 cups (1.7 Liter)
2 x Divided 4.8 cups (1.4 Liter)
----------
48 piece set (24 containers, 24 lids):
6 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)
5 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)
2 x 2 cups (473 mL)
3 x 3 cups (710 mL)
4 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)
3 x 7 cups (1.7 Liter)
1 x 14 cup (3.3 Liter)
----------
40 piece set (20 containers, 20 lids - walmart only?)
5 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)
5 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)
4 x 2 cups (473 mL)
2 x 3 cups (710 mL)
2 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)
2 x 7 cups (1.7 Liter)
----------

4 x 1.25 cup (296 mL)
5 x 2 cup (473 mL)
4 x 3 cup (710 mL)

----------
18 piece set (9 contains, 9 lids):
3 x 0.5 cups (118 mL)
2 x 1.25 cups (296 mL)
1 x 2 cups (473 mL)
2 x 3 cups (710 mL)
1 x 5 cups (1.2 Liter)
----------
One more note - I found that buying two of the 24 piece sets was several dollars cheaper than buying either the 50 or 48 piece sets, and would provide a nicer distribution that would fit my needs better. Prices will change, of course, so this may not always be true, but it was for me.
Here's some comparison data for buying a 50 piece set, a 48 piece set, 2x24 piece set, and 3x24 piece set, all of which are in a similar price range:
1x50 piece set: 6x0.5, 6x1.25, 3x2, 3x3, 3x5, 2x7, 2x4.8divided
1x48 piece set: 6x0.5, 5x1.25, 2x2, 3x3, 4x5, 3x7, 1x14
2x24 piece set: 4x0.5, 4x1.25, 4x2, 4x3, 4x5, 4x7
3x24 piece set: 6x0.5, 6x1.25, 6x2, 6x3, 6x5, 6x7
