    Hi Gail,

    Sorry, I missed this one for some reason! LOL! ... I can't remember what
    make the vacsealer is but it's pretty old - about 12 years ago we bought it.
    It's not nearly as strong or versatile as the ones I've seen since then.
    Good thinking about re-using the bags! And good point about the recycling
    ... but plastic is still far more damaging to the environment than glass. I
    guess it's a tossup, and only practice will tell what suits me best!
    Heartening to hear that the vac sealing is being used by others, though.
    Thanks!

    Best wishes
