It's that simple.




In a previous post we talked about which foodsaver model to buy, now let's talk about why buy a foodsaver?

Using a foodsaver is an easy way to save on groceries, you just using it and begin to save money.

I first found out about foodsavers about 10 years ago on an infomercial, it was quite pricey I felt at $199.99. However, if it worked as claimed and resulted in me saving money I felt it was worth the money. At the time I ate out alot so when I went grocery shopping, I figure about a 1/3 of it would go to waste. I am embarassed to tell you that I put about $50 or more of my hard earned money in the garbage each month without giving it much thought. Sure I hated putting the food in the trash, but it didn't dawn on me that I was actually throwing money in the garbage. DUH! Then I saw the foodsaver informercial and a lightbulb went off when I they pointed out how your are wasting money when you throw food in the garbage. When you think of throwing food in the garbage it not limited to uncooked groceries you let get moldy, it also includes leftovers you forget in the refrigerator. Money down the drain.

Now I use the foodsaver religiously, check out the benefits of having a foodsaver.

I am glad that I decided to buy a foodsaver because it has greatly improved the quality of my life. I no longer throw money down the drain which makes my cheap groceries even cheaper because very little goes to waste. The foodsaver is easy to use and much better than putting food in food storage bags with a vacuum seal and helps keep me organized by being stackable.

It's that simple.





In a recent post, we talk about Foodsaver: Martha Stewart Endorsement. Read that post if you are unclear about what a foodsaver is and how it can save you tons of money.

This post will help you identify the best foodsaver model for you. Foodsaver comes in various shapes and sizes along with a variety of prices. The prices range from $87.35 to $158.35 and the higher the prices, the more automated the model. We will look at the top 3 models so that you can make more informed decision.
  1. Tilia Advanced V2490 FoodSaver Vacuum-Packaging System - This is the one of the cheaper models of the foodsaver priced at approximately $87.35. It is very efficient and provides the same commercial grade vacuum seal which is the only part of the sealing process which is automated. You will need to make sure you keep scissors handy to cut the storage bag and it fits conveniently it your kitchen cabinet. I am mentioning this because my kitchen is small so I need to always keep my kitchen cabinet as clear as possible and if this is one of your concerns you know what to expect.






  • This is a great counter top model which has an inside compartment for a storage bag roll and a built-in cutter so that you have everything at your fingertip to commence sealing. It also features handsfree sealing, canister and marinate mode. The kit includes an 11-inch roll, 3 quart-size bags and 2 gallon-size bags so you will not need to order
  • anything separately.






  • This model is the same as the V3480 except it is stainless steel and model V3480 is white.
  • Any model you order is a great value for the money.It is simply a matte making a purchasing decision based on you budget and the style of model. I personally recommend Tilia Advanced V2490 FoodSaver Vacuum-Packaging System even though it is one of the cheaper models because it offers the same features as the more expensive models such as handfree operation and canister mode without a great expense.

    If you use a foodsaver consistently, it will pay for itself within 2-3 months depending on the amount of spoilage you were experiencing prior using the foodsaver. I noticed a dramatic deduction in 1 month of using the foodsaver consistently. The only time I experience spoilage now is if I don’t take the time out to store the food using a foodsaver.

    How to buy Meat Cheaply

    Buying meat is very expensive and can bust your grocery budget. If you are looking to save money on meats, then forgo your local grocery store and run to a wholesale club such as Sam's Club, BJ's Wholesale or Costco.

    Why buy meat from a wholesale club? A wholesale club's whole premise is to charge its member a fee so that the club can use their negotiating powers to buy groceries at wholesale prices. Then the club passes the savings on to their members by offering cheap grocery prices which tend to be 30% - 50% off retail prices.

    For example, I bought 2 whole chickens for $7.77 at $.88/lb and 6lbs of chicken wings for $8.88 at $1.48/lb. These are bargain prices compared to buying them at a local grocery store for $2.99/lb when they are not on sale. These great prices are on all meats. Sirlion steak is $4.99/lb, but will run you a hefty $7.99/lb in the grocery store







    I am a big fan of buying groceries at wholesale clubs because I save a minimum of $100 a month. Therefore, $45 for the cost of membership is worth the price. It pays for itself in the first month.

    Now that you have learned that you can buy cheap groceries at wholesale clubs, especially meats, what's next? Learn how you can preserve the freshness of meats and save even money more money by using a foodsaver. There you will find many useful tips on how vacuum sealing your food, especially meats will keep them fresh up to 5 times longer than conventional storage.
