Have used the Ziplock vaccum bags for several years and have not had any problems with them. WM had them the 1st year, then our local store quit carring them. Found them at a home owned Piggly Wiggly and have had a constant supplier. The bags work very well with partially filled bags, you must leave enough room to have flat smooth surface for the little hand pump to work properly. Treefarmer
Never had any luck with vacuum sealers. I use the veggie bags and the butcher paper.
I use zip lock bags and a sink full of water, have been doing this for years. Put your meat or fish in a zip lock bag and lower into a sink full of water. Take it down till just the zip lock top is above the water then zip it shut. The water pushes the air out of the bag for you. Dry off your bag and stack'em in the freezer.
