Default NFR - where to get vacuum packing bags

Did a search on where one might buy vacuum packing bags but couldn't find any topics on this subject.
Does anyone know where these are sold...cheap?
Thanks.

COSTCO, cant remeber how much is the cost but they sell 6 rolls in a box and you make the size of bag you want. :smile:

If you are talking about Food Saver bags, the best deal I've found is 6 rolls for $50.00. GI Joe's had a 25% off coupon last week, so I got 6 rolls for $37.50. Expensive, but a lot better than the cheaper bags I've tried. HJ

Costco is where I get mine. I heard that any one can go their but if you dont have a card they charge you 5% additional.

Thanks for the help, guys, it's much appreciated. I brought home a bunch of halibut and Kasilof Kings from a recent wedding I attended in AK (just had to slip out for some fishing despite my lady's lack of enthusiasm towards these endeavors). It is frozen in ziplock's and I wanted to tighten it up in vacuum packed bags to ensure it's survival over the course of many summer bbq's. My plan is to let it slightly thaw, just enough to remove the ice chrystals that have materialized over the week it's been frozen, and then vacuum pack them and back in the freezer. Do you see any problems with this?

Boo- I would not thaw it at all. Don't worry about the few ice crystals. Just open the zip locks and then stick the whole bag in the vacuum bag and suck her down.
Thawing (at all)and refreezing will do more harn then a few crystals in the baggie.
