Emily — December 7, 2009 @ 7:55 am
As a single girl, this product would be awesome at making my food and meals last safely!
Cara — December 7, 2009 @ 7:56 am
I need it so I stop wasting food!
Lori — December 7, 2009 @ 7:58 am
I like to prepare meals on the weekend to use throughout the week…this would so help keep things fresh given I’m only cooking for one!
Susan (All Things In Moderation) — December 7, 2009 @ 7:59 am
I put one of these on my wedding registry 2 yrs. ago and never got it!
There is nothing I hate more than wasting good food! I could really use this thing !
Kelly — December 7, 2009 @ 8:04 am
I often have a ton of leftovers after I make food. The meal saver would be perfect for keeping my leftovers fresh!
Tracy W. — December 7, 2009 @ 8:05 am
I hate throwing away food. This would be perfect for my husband and I to be able to eat the fresh healthy foods we like.
Allie — December 7, 2009 @ 8:06 am
i live alone and often don’t make recipes because it’s so hard for just one. this would be excellent!!
Katie D. — December 7, 2009 @ 8:09 am
I like to buy in bulk to save costs and time – this would be a lifesaver!
Kara — December 7, 2009 @ 8:10 am
I would love this gadget. I am someone who loves food and cooking, but I get really anxious when there is food in my fridge I can’t eat. I would love this machine so I could save my leftovers and not worry about if they will go bad in the freezer or not. It would allow me to try out more recipes in the kitchen and bring out my inner Julia
Megan — December 7, 2009 @ 8:10 am
This would be a great thing for me because I generally buy meats, especially, in bulk. With my hubby being in the military, he is GONE a lot so when I make things, I generally have a lot of left overs.
Karla — December 7, 2009 @ 8:12 am
Honestly, I would give this to my mom if I won it! Since it’s only her and my dad who both work long hours, they often don’t finish food before it goes bad! I think they could definitely benefit from this!
Shirley — December 7, 2009 @ 8:13 am
I really need it for produce! There are only two of us in the apartment so this would be perfect! We usually don’t like buying too much produce at a time since it spoils so quickly!
Sharon — December 7, 2009 @ 8:13 am
I hate to waste food!!! It’s just me and my husband and it’s hard to use things up in the fridge before it goes bad. This would be a real money saver. Have looked at getting one before. Would love one for Christmas though!
sirenjess — December 7, 2009 @ 8:16 am
I would use it for produce. I buy fresh produce each week and need to store it. I also buy meat and need to store that as well.
ErinS — December 7, 2009 @ 8:17 am
i am cooking for one so i always have leftovers! Great way to save them!
Nicole — December 7, 2009 @ 8:22 am
I’m always trying to freeze produce or baked goods to save for future consumption, but no matter what I do I can never seem to prevent frostbite!
Lauren — December 7, 2009 @ 8:24 am
This would help me keep my summer/fall CSA produce fresh!
a — December 7, 2009 @ 8:25 am
Id love one of these I am forever buying ziplock bags and throwing things away because they didnt seal properly.
Danielle — December 7, 2009 @ 8:25 am
I need this in my life because I love cooking but I live on my own so I have to save/freeze everything!
lily @ lily's health pad — December 7, 2009 @ 8:26 am
I like to freeze leftovers. this would be perfect!
cait — December 7, 2009 @ 8:26 am
I cook for one as well and this would be great to save my leftovers!
Laura — December 7, 2009 @ 8:27 am
I would love this! I have to walk to the grocery store (no car) which is normally fine but I can only buy enough produce as I will eat in 3 or 4 days, which means a lot of my time is spent walking to the grocery store. I’m an engineering student, so it’s hard to find! It would be great to keep the produce fresh longer so I could buy more at a time.
Kristen — December 7, 2009 @ 8:27 am
Those food savers are great money savers… We could really use one right now to help us save money!
Jen — December 7, 2009 @ 8:27 am
My fiancee just asked for one of these for Christmas! (Too bad I already bought him something else). We both work full time and are students so it’s hard to find time during the week to cook meals. We tend to cook a lot on the weekends. This would be great to save our extras to eat throughout the week!
Amy — December 7, 2009 @ 8:29 am
I’m a vet student with no time at ALL for my own meals – so I try and be good and cook them ahead of time, but it never works well enough! This would be a life saver!
Dona — December 7, 2009 @ 8:29 am
I waste too much food, this would help!
Rachel — December 7, 2009 @ 8:30 am
This would be perfect! I have one of those mini hand held ones, that are ok, but this would do a much better job. You can make meals and make your own frozen dinners… or buy in bulk and freeze portions knowing that they won’t just get freezer burned. It looks less bulky than some of the other vacuum sealers too.
Kristen — December 7, 2009 @ 8:31 am
I’m in college right now so cooking “in bulk” for later, easier meal prep is very necessary!! This would definitely help with storage!!
Lisa L — December 7, 2009 @ 8:31 am
This would be a great time/food saver. Every Sunday my husband and I cook up a few meals for ourselves and my parents. This would be much easier to distribute the portions and wouldn’t have to shuttle tupperware back and forth with the parents.
Laura — December 7, 2009 @ 8:34 am
My husband and I love to cook, but it’s only the two of us and we haven’t yet mastered cooking for two. I could use this to store all of our leftovers so that they stayed super fresh!
Molly @thevegandorm — December 7, 2009 @ 8:34 am
since i’m living alone, sometimes i can’t eat food quickly enough before it goes bad! i would love that!
Kerry — December 7, 2009 @ 8:35 am
I need it to feed my husband fresh meals when I am not around!
Danielle — December 7, 2009 @ 8:36 am
I’m constantly forgetting about food and having it go bad…this would be awesome to have!!
Hilary — December 7, 2009 @ 8:37 am
Wow I think these things are so cool, have always wanted one, and live on my own so have lots of leftovers…pick me please!!!!
Heather — December 7, 2009 @ 8:38 am
This would be great for us! I always have leftovers that the husband says he’ll eat but then doesn’t. This would save the leftovers so I could eat them when he doesn’t!
Katherine — December 7, 2009 @ 8:38 am
Great giveaway! I was just remarking last night that we seem to throw away far too much food b/c it goes bad to quickly. But honestly, who can use an entire bunch of dill in 4 days?!
Pam — December 7, 2009 @ 8:38 am
I def need this! That way, I can actually make meals while I am at school and not have to worry about what to do with the leftovers (I share a refrigerator with 40 other girls and storage is tight)
Laura — December 7, 2009 @ 8:39 am
I would give this to my mom actually! She is SO worried about things going bad too quickly…so this would reduce her stress immensely!
Valentina — December 7, 2009 @ 8:39 am
Wonderful giveaway…thank you Tina. I would love this because I tend to eat breakfast foods for dinner and dinner foods for breakfast…and if I can cook them and save them at the wrong times (make sense) and then just eat them at the rigth times if I want, confusing…but I think you get it.
Kelsey — December 7, 2009 @ 8:39 am
i would give this to my mom or sister. they have problems with keeping food fresh!
amber — December 7, 2009 @ 8:40 am
This container saver would SAVE me because I’m a broke grad student, who loves to cook. So I spend most of my sundays making meals for the week. Then I freeze a bit of them for around that time of the month right before paychecks… so I still have something delicious to eat.
Rosie — December 7, 2009 @ 8:42 am
I have been wanting to get a food saver or something similar to help streamline my meal prep. As it stands now, I usualy make an additional meal or two on Sunday afternoon to either eat later that week or freeze for future consumption. This would be a great product to ensure my food stays fresh and more importantly-no freezer burn!
Jess S. — December 7, 2009 @ 8:42 am
i love variety but when i buy several different kinds of fruits and veggies in a week, it’s hard to eat them quickly enough so they don’t go bad. looks like the foodsaver would help solve that problem.
Paige — December 7, 2009 @ 8:42 am
I would use it or fruits and veggies! Awesome giveaway!
Andrea — December 7, 2009 @ 8:42 am
My Husband and I both work alot of hours. We tend to buy fresh food but it ends up being wasted. This would be freat!
homecookedem — December 7, 2009 @ 8:43 am
I’m a very poor first grade teacher who loves taking my breakfast, lunch, and snacks to school each day. This would help me keep all of my meals super fresh, especially since I’m around germy (but very sweet) children all day!
eliza — December 7, 2009 @ 8:43 am
I love it. This would be great for me and my boyfriend. We both like to eat healthy. And I hate things going to waste. This would help us out tremendously!
Amanda — December 7, 2009 @ 8:45 am
I’d love to be able to cook and freeze meals on the weekend and use them througout the week at my leisure.
Nicole — December 7, 2009 @ 8:45 am
I hate wasting food, and go as far as to tape bags shut to make sure food does not get stale. This would be perfect for me since I always have so many leftovers in the fridge at once..
Amelia — December 7, 2009 @ 8:45 am
This would make it easier for me to cook in bulk for the week, rather than relying on takeout or other crap on the nights I get home late.
Brittany — December 7, 2009 @ 8:46 am
This MealSaver would save me lots of money and time by being able to save my leftover meats in my freezer, especially when sometimes the ziploc baggies just aren’t cutting it!
Mary — December 7, 2009 @ 8:46 am
My boyfriend NEVER eats sweets, and I bake a ton. This way I could save all of my baking instead of being “forced” to eat it all myself!
Emily @ The Experimentarian — December 7, 2009 @ 8:46 am
Too late to enter? I need that thing to seal up all the meat and produce we buy on sale and freeze. No use being a frugalista if it’s freezerburnt!
Tiffany — December 7, 2009 @ 8:47 am
I live by myself and it’s hard to make dishes for just 1 person, so I always end up with leftovers that fill up my fridge!
Carik — December 7, 2009 @ 8:48 am
I could save money by cooking in large batches and freezing leftovers!
Julie — December 7, 2009 @ 8:48 am
I have a very small freezer and love Costco!
Erin F. — December 7, 2009 @ 8:49 am
This is great!! My BF and I both love to cook but we often end up throwing food away because it goes bad before we can eat it. This would be an excellent way to save some of those great dishes that we end up wasting!
Emily — December 7, 2009 @ 8:50 am
I would like this because I hate wasting food!
Erin C — December 7, 2009 @ 8:50 am
i love to cook and make up big batches of food on sundays or in advance to save time during the week! this would help me safely store everything in the freezer while keeping it fresh !
Jason Sandeman — December 7, 2009 @ 8:51 am
I would use the vac machine to keep my food fresh! I would use it to sous vide cook a lamb shank dish I have been dreaming of making at home. I would use it to bottle up my sauces and make individual portions for ease of use in the kitchen. I could even imagine using it to keep tea, and herbs fresh. Finally, I bought some vanilla that would probably love it as well!
RLU — December 7, 2009 @ 8:51 am
I would love a meal saver! I’m a student living on my own for the first time and cooking just for 1 person. When I make a dish, I usually end up having to eat it for an entire week since expiration dates become more like radioactive dates when you cook for only yourself. A meal saver would allow me to eat different things since left overs could last longer!
Coley — December 7, 2009 @ 8:51 am
I want one of these so badly!! I am a college student, and buy food in whatever form it is cheapest – aka bulk. But its only me, so a lot of times my food goes bad, and therefore not cheaper at all. So this would really save me some money!!
Patricia @ RunFoodieRun.com — December 7, 2009 @ 8:52 am
I love to cook, but my boyfriend and I tend to overcook sometimes so it would be nice to have something like this to help us freeze and save the extra food…I hate wasting food!
Light Delight with TouTou — December 7, 2009 @ 8:52 am
oh that looks very cool! I would use it for my leftovers
Meg — December 7, 2009 @ 8:53 am
Being a college student – I need all the storage I can get – my fridge is usually leftover city
Thanks Tina!
Emma — December 7, 2009 @ 8:53 am
I hate wasting food, and this would be the perfect way to save leftovers or fresh fruits and veggies for longer periods of time!
Joy — December 7, 2009 @ 8:54 am
I have been DYING for one of these! I am vegan my husband is not BUT he doesn’t like leftovers and won’t eat them. I have it figured out with soup – I freeze it in tupperware and give it to him a couple weeks later then it is “new and fresh” but I can’t quite get the non-soup meals to work like that. They need to be air free,
Katelyn — December 7, 2009 @ 8:56 am
I want to stop throwing away so much food.
Sharon — December 7, 2009 @ 8:57 am
It would go to great use in this house for all the leftovers we have
CaSaundra — December 7, 2009 @ 8:57 am
I need this because I am constantly freezing foods I make in big batches, but sometimes no matter how good I wrap it, I still end up with freezer burnt food!
Pam — December 7, 2009 @ 8:57 am
To be able to freeze our leftovers more perfectly and that they will take up less space in our freezer….great giveaway!
Enjoy!
Kelly D — December 7, 2009 @ 8:58 am
I need the food saver because every time we’re in a store with one my husband has to check it out. He loves the concept…oh and I need a christmas gift for him!
Jess (A Fete For Food) — December 7, 2009 @ 8:59 am
I make food ahead of time during the weekend and then we eat it during the week for lunch and dinner. This would be a nice addition to the reusable Pyrex we have to store our meals.
Steph — December 7, 2009 @ 9:00 am
Well, I personally don’t need one, but I would definitely give it to my mom if I won! She is a very busy woman and loves to cook and make sure dinner is always on the table. I think this gift would make it just a little more easier for her
Whitney — December 7, 2009 @ 9:00 am
this is so funny that this is a gift you are giving away because yesterday I was just browsing for one of these. My father has been wanting one for two years now and always makes an excuse why next year will be the year. My father hunts so we always have tons of deer meat plus he makes big batches of deer bbq, chili, stews, and more and we never know what to do with all of it. I want to buy him one for christmas but it is not in my budget haha. I would love to win this gift!!!
Jordan @ Salt Sweat Sugar — December 7, 2009 @ 9:00 am
I need it because I refuse to get my meat & produce from anywhere but Costco, and sometimes it becomes wasteful!
Anna — December 7, 2009 @ 9:01 am
This will help me save money because I will be able to buy more things in bulk and seal them up!
Annie — December 7, 2009 @ 9:02 am
This would be so perfect for me ! I live alone, and sometimes waste way to much food cause I cant finish it all on my own
Jessie — December 7, 2009 @ 9:03 am
I cook for me and my husband and I am constantly making too much. I am so tired of eating the same meal (leftovers for lunch) for a week. I think this would make storing the leftovers a lot easier.
Kara — December 7, 2009 @ 9:03 am
I cook for myself and one other person, so our leftovers sometimes go bad before we can get to them. This would be great!
Lindsay — December 7, 2009 @ 9:04 am
This product would be super helpful for freezing foods for me. I always have good intentions when I freeze things, but than they always come out freezer burnt! Yuck!
lisampls — December 7, 2009 @ 9:04 am
MUFFINS! I need this awesome gadget because of muffins. I LOVE to bake muffins in the morning, but frequently I’m the only person interested in them, this little guy could keep my batch fresh (or frozen) for me to enjoy at my leisure. Thank you Tina!!
kristin — December 7, 2009 @ 9:05 am
love this! i always overbuy groceries, cook too many meals, and end up throwing out way too many leftovers – i need something like this in my life to help me better store leftovers so i waste less food!!
sara — December 7, 2009 @ 9:05 am
This would be awesome to save leftovers and keep them fresh. Sometimes I open a pack of chicken and I only use 2-3 pieces. It would be great to use this product to package up chicken for future use.
ashley — December 7, 2009 @ 9:07 am
one word: waste! having a gadget like this would greatly cut down on the throwing-away-leftovers routine that happens at the end of the week!
mama — December 7, 2009 @ 9:07 am
because whenever i freeze stuff it always gets freezer-burnt!
Bonnie — December 7, 2009 @ 9:07 am
I’ve been wanting one of these forever!!! We buy meat & fish in bulk, so this would be a great way to make sure they are stored properly until we need them.
lgjs — December 7, 2009 @ 9:08 am
If I cook for my family and the kids don’t like the meal, I have leftovers. But my husband’s schedule is unpredictable and I might not always get to serve the leftovers in a timely fashion. This would be a great solution!
Sarah — December 7, 2009 @ 9:09 am
I waste entirely too much food!
Jody — December 7, 2009 @ 9:09 am
I could definitely use this! I buy bulk foods to save money and try to cook large batches of food at a time so this would help to keep the food fresh and to avoid freezer burn.
Carly — December 7, 2009 @ 9:09 am
Since its just my husband and me, we freeze EVERYTHING! It helps so I don’t overeat carbs (like when I make cornbread, cookies, etc). I freeze the rest. This would keep them better longer
Lauren — December 7, 2009 @ 9:12 am
This is a fantastic giveaway! I need the vacuum sealing system because food in my freezer has a tendency to surrender to freezer burn. This contraption would alleviate the problem!
Marcie — December 7, 2009 @ 9:12 am
Great for portion control!
Ellen — December 7, 2009 @ 9:13 am
i try to eat as seasonally as possible, so that means that i freeze a lot of food to eat at other times in the year (a massive amount of tomatoes!). it would be great to be able to get all the air out so they store better, more efficiently and without all that freezer burn!
Marie — December 7, 2009 @ 9:13 am
I need to stop wasting food!
Emily — December 7, 2009 @ 9:13 am
I hate wasting food but love saving money by buying in bulk. This would be such a life and money saver! =) Thanks for the giveaway!
Marilyn — December 7, 2009 @ 9:13 am
It could seal the food and prevent me from reaching back in for nibbling after!
Virginia — December 7, 2009 @ 9:14 am
I hate having freezer burned seafood!! I feel like no matter what, I can never manage to get all the air out of those freezer bags. This would be a lifesaver!
Lindsay Perrone (goodiesgalore) — December 7, 2009 @ 9:15 am
best give away yet! I need that sucker so I’ll never have to waste food again!
Ralph — December 7, 2009 @ 9:17 am
Great way to buy in bulk and be able to preserve your purchases!
Emily Eats and Exercises — December 7, 2009 @ 9:17 am
Since my boyfriend and I eat mostly separate meals, I mostly am cooking for one. I always have tons of leftovers and I’d love one of these to freeze individual portion sizes that I could take out of the freezer for myself on a busy day.
Mara @ What's For Dinner? — December 7, 2009 @ 9:18 am
I’m completely incapable of cooking just enough food for two people. It’s either not enough, or I cook enough for an army! I’d love to be able to save the leftovers in a more efficient way!
Sarah B. — December 7, 2009 @ 9:18 am
My family could really use it because we are always throwing away leftovers.
Lori Z. — December 7, 2009 @ 9:19 am
I need this because my leftovers are always getting freezer burnt! Also, I like to buy items when on sale and freeze, but there is no use if they are getting freezer burnt before I can use them!
Kayla B — December 7, 2009 @ 9:19 am
I need one of these because I like to make extra of whatever I’m cooking to have leftovers for days and days.
stephanie — December 7, 2009 @ 9:19 am
I would love a food saver because it would help me keep my homemade baby food as fresh as possible in our freezer and save lots of leftovers!
Mariel — December 7, 2009 @ 9:20 am
When you’re only cooking for 1 or 2 people, this would come in handy–easy way to wrap up food in bulk!
Rebecca — December 7, 2009 @ 9:21 am
I love to cook but always have leftovers…which end up going bad before I can eat them!!! This would be great!!!
Anne P — December 7, 2009 @ 9:21 am
I need that because I live by myself so it’s hard to eat the food I buy before it goes bad!
lindsay — December 7, 2009 @ 9:21 am
This would be great for keeping our bulk food fresh!
katie davis — December 7, 2009 @ 9:22 am
I would love to prepare larger meals and save portions of them or even be able to save more of the perishable items we buy in bulk, because when it is just the hubby and I we often do not get through certain things before they go bad!
Evelyn — December 7, 2009 @ 9:23 am
It would fantastic to use to keep my veggies longer!
another great giveaway!
Noel — December 7, 2009 @ 9:23 am
Definitely much needed, I’m a single lady and could use this to create my fave meals in bigger batches and not feel terrible about wasting food and leftovers!
Michelle — December 7, 2009 @ 9:25 am
My Husand talks about getting on all the time. He would love one for xmas!!!!
amanda — December 7, 2009 @ 9:26 am
I buy in bulk all the time and this would save me even more money.
Michelle — December 7, 2009 @ 9:27 am
I try and plan my meals out for the week, and any prep work that I can do ahead of time is always useful. The foodsaver would definitely help with this process–so I don’t have to worry about the food staying fresh throughout the week!
Quinn — December 7, 2009 @ 9:30 am
I need my leftovers to stay fresh!
Dani — December 7, 2009 @ 9:30 am
My fiance and I always end up tossing either leftovers or fruits/veggies we can’t use up… this would be perfect to help us not waste food! Thanks, Tina!
Joseline — December 7, 2009 @ 9:30 am
I’m a single girl and could use this to create my meals in bigger batches without having to waste any food and leftovers!
Katie — December 7, 2009 @ 9:30 am
Costco and Sams, thats why!! I love shopping there, but hate having to throw the excess food away when I dont eat it in time!
Kelly — December 7, 2009 @ 9:30 am
This would be great – I’m trying to save money, and not having to throw away rotten food would be a great help!
coco — December 7, 2009 @ 9:31 am
oh… I love this! it’s so convenient for a single person because I always have so much leftovers!!!
Naomi — December 7, 2009 @ 9:32 am
after making a delicious meal, I love freezing some of it to keep for later so I can enjoy it all over again! this would be the best product for that! also I can portion it out so I don’t over-enjoy myself
Karissa — December 7, 2009 @ 9:32 am
It would make my life so much easier to have homemade frozen dinners on hand. Hopefully it would help my husband avoid fast food as well!
Ashley — December 7, 2009 @ 9:34 am
I need this to cut down on waste and save my leftovers! It’s almost impossible to cook for one person!
Tiffany — December 7, 2009 @ 9:35 am
So I could buy in bulk and start saving some money!!
Ashley — December 7, 2009 @ 9:36 am
Cooking for one person can be challenging at times so this food saver would help save leftovers in the freezer without the threat of freezer burn!
Jenn — December 7, 2009 @ 9:38 am
because as a single person, whenever i cook a meal a lot of it always goes bad! and i have to throw it away
Meghan — December 7, 2009 @ 9:38 am
I have never seen something like this! I would love something like this because cooking for one means lots of leftovers!
Kim — December 7, 2009 @ 9:42 am
This would be awesome to have. Be able to keep leftovers longer and great way to prepack lunches and also would be great for those plan ahead healthy low-calorie snacks for the week!
Elizabeth — December 7, 2009 @ 9:42 am
i’m a huge fan of making a lot of food on the weekend so i don’t have to sramble during the week, so I would love something like this!!
JMB — December 7, 2009 @ 9:42 am
I live by myself and waste sooo much food. My new years resolution is to not be so wasteful so this would be ideal.
Shannon — December 7, 2009 @ 9:43 am
I would love to have this so I could separate big meals into individual portions to use during the week!
Meg @ Be Fit Be Full — December 7, 2009 @ 9:45 am
If I had one of these I would cook larger meals more often so that I could cook less during the week!
Melissa O. — December 7, 2009 @ 9:45 am
I’m a single girl and I love to cook big meals for myself on Sundays! This would be a life saver! Also, I bet it would do wonders for all the produce I don’t get to throughout the week!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Lina — December 7, 2009 @ 9:45 am
I totally need one of those! I’m a busy student working on my second bachelor’s degree, at two different schools! I love to cook meals on the weekend so I can pop them out of the freezer between classes. Only problem is they always get ice crystals, yuck! The vacuum sealer would sure make my meals tastier! =0P
Britt - Runnerbelle — December 7, 2009 @ 9:46 am
I’m embarrassed of how much we waste at times, this would hopefully help in solving that problem!
Liz — December 7, 2009 @ 9:46 am
I would love this. My husband and I are expecting twins in the spring and this would definitely help prepare meals ahead of time so that we have some hope of eating dinners after the twins arrive.
Carolyn — December 7, 2009 @ 9:47 am
I let WAY too much food go to waste and this would help prevent that.
Tricia — December 7, 2009 @ 9:47 am
I definitely need this! That way I wouldn’t have to waste food taken over with freezer burn!
Carolyn — December 7, 2009 @ 9:47 am
I am single and a grad student so this would be wonderful for me. It’s difficult to keep my foods fresh all week since its only me eating them and I don’t have all sorts of time to run to the store several times a week. Also, the money wasted from spoiled food is killer for a student.
Mellissa — December 7, 2009 @ 9:47 am
I need this- I have so much food that goes to waste in the freezer because I do not wrap it properly!
Katie (Sweet Tater) — December 7, 2009 @ 9:47 am
i would love this for packing lunches on sunday for my boyfriend and me to take to work throughout the week.
Catie — December 7, 2009 @ 9:48 am
This would be the greatest christmas gift for my dad, I need to get it!! Thanks for the giveaway:)
Jocelyn — December 7, 2009 @ 9:48 am
I totally need one of these! I work full time and go to school at night, so I make lots of food on the weekends for the week. This would be so helpful to be able to seal and freeze meals for weeknights that I or my husband can’t cook!
Stasa — December 7, 2009 @ 9:50 am
This would be great to have for freezing leftovers and to separate items bought in bulk. Great giveaway!
Sarah — December 7, 2009 @ 9:50 am
I need this because my husband and I totally eat different meals so everything I make for myself has leftovers! Thanks
Joop — December 7, 2009 @ 9:50 am
As a grad student married to someone who’s studying for a major licensing exam, I have to do lots of cooking ahead–way ahead–if I want healthy, home-cooked meals. This means lots of freezer time, which unfortunately means lots of freezer burn. I’ve been wanting to try a vacuum sealer for ages!
jenna — December 7, 2009 @ 9:50 am
perfect for freezing weeknight meals!!!
elisa — December 7, 2009 @ 9:50 am
I would be able to pack away leftovers to last instead of feeling pressured to eat everything that is left.
Lizzy — December 7, 2009 @ 9:51 am
i have always wanted one of these. next semester in school i’ll be there from 7 in the morning till 9 at night, and i’ll be packing multiple snacks and meals a day and keeping everything fresh throughout the day without having to lug around a huge cooler, this would be the perfect thing! i hope i win
diana(mymarblerye) — December 7, 2009 @ 9:51 am
I work 50+ hour work weeks and I’m a foodie! I need something to help me create meals in advance!
Kevin — December 7, 2009 @ 9:51 am
fruits and veggies will stay alive in my fridge!
stacey — December 7, 2009 @ 9:51 am
I would love this product because I’ve recently been trying to eat healthier. The trips to the farmer’s market are awesome, but living by myself and making bulk meals is tough. A product like this would definitely help me make the most of my meals (and my money) and keep me on the right track.
Lainie — December 7, 2009 @ 9:52 am
I need a vacuum sealer to seal my yummy doggie bag food from restaurants!
Kristi — December 7, 2009 @ 9:52 am
This would be awesome keeping my food fresh and keeping it longer…
janene — December 7, 2009 @ 9:53 am
2 busy parents + 1 budding foodie child = cooking interesting things in big batches on the weekends and living off of it for the week. boy oh boy, would this help!
Lu — December 7, 2009 @ 9:53 am
I absolutely need this. I love to cook and tend to have a lot of leftovers. I never get to them, because I work a lot and don’t have a lot of free time. This would make them freezable!
Ilene — December 7, 2009 @ 9:54 am
It’ll help with food preservation!
***ANDREA*** — December 7, 2009 @ 9:55 am
I have a family of five and this would make meal preparation ahead of time easy. Not to mention to freeze baked goodies.
Nicole — December 7, 2009 @ 9:55 am
Eating healthy vegan is sometimes very time consuming. I would love to be able to make a bunch for me and freeze some to save time in the future.
Leianna — December 7, 2009 @ 9:56 am
I would love one because I always forget about stuff in my fridge and freezer and this machine would helpsave some food!
Marissa — December 7, 2009 @ 9:57 am
I always have leftovers that I forget about in the fridge that go bad before I eat them. This would help that because I could just freeze them and eat them as a meal another time.
Abby Smyth — December 7, 2009 @ 10:00 am
I need this in my life.. it is only my hubby and i at our house and i think this would make us eat leftovers more! Less waste
patti bevans — December 7, 2009 @ 10:01 am
We waste so much food because we don’t eat it fast enough! I’ve always wanted one of these for leftovers and fresh produce. It’d be awesome and a total $$ saver!!
Jen — December 7, 2009 @ 10:02 am
Because I live on a budget and this would help save food!
Martha — December 7, 2009 @ 10:03 am
I need this to keep my food fresh! I haaattte it when I go to snack on something and it’s gone bad
. Plus I feel super guilty.
Erin — December 7, 2009 @ 10:03 am
I think this would help me to save a lot of money!
Sue — December 7, 2009 @ 10:05 am
My husband just lost his job so we are in full money saving mode right now, which includes buying things like meat in bulk to break up and freeze for now and future use, so this would be great!
Teri — December 7, 2009 @ 10:05 am
No matter how I wrapped my produce and meat, it ALWAYS gets freezer burn! Maybe this would be the trick to stop it forever!
Bethany — December 7, 2009 @ 10:06 am
I live by myself and end up with tons of leftovers when I make meals. This would make storing them so much easier!
Sarah — December 7, 2009 @ 10:06 am
My food is always going bad, and I’m on a tight budget, so this would be a life saver!
Kristine — December 7, 2009 @ 10:07 am
I need the food saver because i’m a single lady and never want to cook big meals because I always have too many leftovers! This is the perfect solution
Elisa — December 7, 2009 @ 10:07 am
I am a nanny for 3 boys and by the time I get home it is almost 8, therefore I have to prepare my meals in advance otherwise its after 9 until eat
julie — December 7, 2009 @ 10:08 am
i neeed the vacuum sealer so my veggies and meat don’t get freezer burn!
Kelly B — December 7, 2009 @ 10:08 am
I need this because I hate wasting food!
Jenny — December 7, 2009 @ 10:09 am
I really need this so I can stop throwing away cheese and veggies that I haven’t had but a couple days or maybe a week. I hate to waste food and ziplocs don’t always do the job.
Cait (Cait's Plate) — December 7, 2009 @ 10:09 am
I am the ultimate target for that product!! I live alone and there are very few GOOD recipes just for one, so it would be amazing to be able to SAVE my leftovers rather than having them go bad and having to waste time and money to throw them out
Emmalinda — December 7, 2009 @ 10:09 am
Two reasons:
1) I save food! I hate wasting food, but with just my husband and I, we sometimes have leftovers we can’t finish.
2) My husband brews beer at home. He’d like to start grinding his own grains, but needs a vacuum sealer to store grain that’s already been ground. We were just about to start looking on Craigslist!
Christina — December 7, 2009 @ 10:10 am
I live alone so this is a perfect way to avoid wasting food! Plus I can freeze the muffins I bake
Sarah — December 7, 2009 @ 10:10 am
I’d love this to help me with organizing meals for the week. This would be so much better than tupperware containers!
Celiz — December 7, 2009 @ 10:10 am
I need a MealSaver because my fiance will be training for a government job for 13 months and I will be living alone. Things will be touch financially and we will not be able to waste any food! Plus, I love shopping at Costco and this will ensure that my bulk foods do not go bad!
living2thetruth4god — December 7, 2009 @ 10:10 am
Oh this is so cool. Being single, I need this to save money. Instead of spending extra on individually packaged, single serving product, I would buy bigger packages and portion them out myself.
Megan S — December 7, 2009 @ 10:12 am
I’m so bad about sealing my food and ruin way too much that way!
Lindsey — December 7, 2009 @ 10:12 am
I am in college, so it would be amazing if I was able to save the few meals that I am able to cook so they last for more than one night! Also, it would sooo great when I went home if I could save some of my mom’s homecooked meals. Ohh how I miss them:(
Susan — December 7, 2009 @ 10:12 am
Living with my fiance for the first time we need to carefully manage our budget. Buying things in bulk and on sale is great but half the time the food goes bad. Soooo having this MealSaver would be awesome so we could portion food out.
Danielle — December 7, 2009 @ 10:14 am
I’m a medical student with little time on my hands. A food-saver would allow me to have quick meals ready in advance on those long days in the hospital!
Christina — December 7, 2009 @ 10:15 am
I am a grad student and live by myself in an apartment. This would be great for helping me keep food longer and not have it go bad and waste it!
Heather — December 7, 2009 @ 10:15 am
I am a busy girl and like to cook in bulk, so this would be Amazing!
Pam (Pamcakes and Eggs) — December 7, 2009 @ 10:17 am
1. It would help me not to waste food (Environment!)
2. I live alone!
Natalie — December 7, 2009 @ 10:17 am
I love to cook food in large portions and freeze some of it so that I have quick go to meals when I am busy.
Leigh — December 7, 2009 @ 10:17 am
I live alone so I always have way too much leftover when I cook.
Jen — December 7, 2009 @ 10:19 am
This would reduce the amount of spoiled leftovers I throw away each week!!
Chelsea — December 7, 2009 @ 10:19 am
I am always throwing out food b/c it goes bad before I can eat it. I think this would really help!
Sami — December 7, 2009 @ 10:20 am
This would be great for helping me stop wasting food! I would like to start cooking large batches of dinner and then freezing some for on the go meals!
Erin — December 7, 2009 @ 10:20 am
I LOVE to cook (and eat!)! It would be a great help with freezing leftovers. Also, I wonder if you can use it to try sous vide? Just a thought.
Frances — December 7, 2009 @ 10:20 am
I need it because we have so many leftovers and end up wasting food!
Jessie (Vegan-minded) — December 7, 2009 @ 10:21 am
Great giveaway! One of those would be great to make leftovers stay fresh longer.
Christine — December 7, 2009 @ 10:21 am
I always feel terrible I have food going to waste because I’m only feeding one person usually (no one else is interested in my healthy goods!) so this would be so helpful in helping save fresh food from the trashcan!
Julie — December 7, 2009 @ 10:21 am
So much food gets wasted in my house! =(
This would help save a lot from the garbage!
Danielle — December 7, 2009 @ 10:21 am
I live alone, but like to make meals in bulk for the week. This would help keep those meals fresh!
Leah — December 7, 2009 @ 10:22 am
I could use one of those things because my produce is CONSTANTLY going bad – especially mushrooms. I try to keep up but it’s almost impossible! It would be nice to be able to buy more produce at once so that I don’t waste anything!
Christina — December 7, 2009 @ 10:22 am
I cook for one most of the time but I love having left overs to pull out of the freezer when I’m pressed for time, this would be awesome!!
Michele — December 7, 2009 @ 10:22 am
I need this to keep veggies fresh longer. We don’t buy as many veggies as we should because it seems we just can’t eat them fast enough.
Megan M. (Bites of the Apple) — December 7, 2009 @ 10:23 am
I’m always cooking for one or two, so i’d love to be ablet o store things with extra freshness!
Cristina — December 7, 2009 @ 10:24 am
I cook for myself and always have leftovers. It would be great to have a more effecient way of packaging my leftovers!! Great giveaway!
Laura C — December 7, 2009 @ 10:24 am
I really need this! I feel as though I spend a lot of time cooking and baking but the foods just never keep long enough, and this would solve that.
Dorothy — December 7, 2009 @ 10:24 am
We like to buy in bulk and freeze extras, so this would be perfect!
Mary K — December 7, 2009 @ 10:25 am
This would be great! It’s just my husband and me, so we always have leftovers.
Ryan @ Greens for Good — December 7, 2009 @ 10:25 am
I just purchased a dehydrator for my boyfriend for his birthday and we’d love to be able to vacuum seal some of our new creations!
Kara — December 7, 2009 @ 10:26 am
I like to cook a lot of meals in advance, so this would definitely be helpful for storing them!
Kelly — December 7, 2009 @ 10:28 am
I am in college and preparing meals in advance is a skill I would like to improve.
brandi — December 7, 2009 @ 10:28 am
how awesome!
I try to buy things on special or when I have coupons (veggies, meat, etc) and local meat, as well, and freeze everything that I can. I know this would help keep freezer burn away, though!
Heather — December 7, 2009 @ 10:28 am
Since it’s just my husband and I in our house we always have leftovers. It would be so helpful to vacuum seal them.
Jerilynne — December 7, 2009 @ 10:28 am
I don’t think I would have room for it in my tiny apartment, but if I won, it would make an excellent Christmas present for my parents! They like to shop/cook in bulk and this would really help them save time and $$!
Elizabeth — December 7, 2009 @ 10:29 am
I work very long hours and am a single girl, so having extra meet, produce, and soup stored and saved would be a major time saver and money saver. Thanks for this great giveaway!
Laura — December 7, 2009 @ 10:30 am
this would help to keep my meals fresh throughout the week!
Anne — December 7, 2009 @ 10:30 am
I always have leftovers, and can never eat them fast enough. This would be fantastic…and so much less wasteful.
Manon — December 7, 2009 @ 10:30 am
I am soooooooo bad with wasting food……..this would save me so much time and $$$$!
Brea — December 7, 2009 @ 10:31 am
The Food saver would help prevent freezer burn and allow me to store meets and veggies/fruits longer than I’ve managed so far!
Christa — December 7, 2009 @ 10:32 am
I freeze my bulk purchases, this would allow me to protect them better!
mags — December 7, 2009 @ 10:32 am
i LOVE to cook, but since it is just my husband and myself, we are left with so many leftovers!! this would do wonders for my leftover-stocked fridge!!
Amy — December 7, 2009 @ 10:33 am
I was just talking with my fiance about how much food we waste, simply because there isn’t enough time to eat it! This product is perfect — a time and money saver!
Mary Beth — December 7, 2009 @ 10:33 am
I live along so it would be great to save some leftovers for longer than a week!
Bonnie @ Salad Craze — December 7, 2009 @ 10:34 am
This would definitely help with breaking down bulk packs of food. Plus you could easily add a different marinade to each one for some variety.
emily - eatventures — December 7, 2009 @ 10:34 am
we eat a lot of leftovers!
Jessica — December 7, 2009 @ 10:35 am
This would be great to have so that there will be no more wasted leftovers!
Kate — December 7, 2009 @ 10:36 am
I cook all the time…would love to be sure the leftovers are freshly kept!!
Erin — December 7, 2009 @ 10:37 am
I cook in bulk and freeze. Great way to keep things fresh!
Jordan — December 7, 2009 @ 10:38 am
i would love to save some money and buy in bulk and this would be a great help for that!
Jessica P. — December 7, 2009 @ 10:39 am
I need the foodsaver because I always end up throwing away too many leftovers!
Lauren — December 7, 2009 @ 10:39 am
I’ve wanted one of these for a while…. I try to be good about not wasting food and freezing, and this would be a big help! Thanks!
Shannon — December 7, 2009 @ 10:39 am
how awesome! i would love this b/c i cook for one, but buy in bulk
Katie C — December 7, 2009 @ 10:42 am
I need these to freeze meat leftovers! Whenever I make a whole chicken or turkey, my boyfriend is the only one who eats it…..and that means he gets chicken for a week straight!
Seth @ Boy Meets Food — December 7, 2009 @ 10:42 am
I usually buy food in bulk (especially meats), and often end up with freezer burn on many of them because I don’t use them up fast enough and air is still in the package. With that I could get rid of the freezer burn!
Emily G — December 7, 2009 @ 10:42 am
I’m a poor college student who likes to eat healthy and make meals and have fresh produce. That being sad, this would totally help keep things fresher WAY longer and not waste a lot of veggies each week!
jamie — December 7, 2009 @ 10:42 am
I need the FoodSaver MealSaver Compact Vacuum-Sealing System in your life because I cook for one but I always make enough food for a family of 4 so I can have leftovers for quick meals — this is perfect to store extras!
Jessica H. — December 7, 2009 @ 10:44 am
lots of leftovers!
Amanda — December 7, 2009 @ 10:44 am
My daughter doesnt eat meat, My husband works nights so doesnt eat dinner with us and I am on a weight loss journey. All of this equals a need to freeze leftovers since I cant eat it all by myself
Danielle C. — December 7, 2009 @ 10:45 am
We love to buy meat in bulk at Costco having a vacuum sealer would be amazing for keeping the food fresh!
Maddy — December 7, 2009 @ 10:45 am
I HATE freezerburn. and my freezer has a knack for ruining about 90% of what I put in it at the moment.
cassie — December 7, 2009 @ 10:45 am
I buy meat in bulk and always end up with some freezer burn; this would be great to extend their “shelf” life!
Audrey — December 7, 2009 @ 10:46 am
I love leftovers, but hate wasting food!
Sue-Ellen — December 7, 2009 @ 10:46 am
I need the food saver to help me keep my meat in the freezer fresh longer!
Rachel — December 7, 2009 @ 10:48 am
I make a lot of food my boyfriend won’t eat, so it’d be great to have a vacuum sealing system to better save the leftovers so I don’t have to eat them all within a couple days!
SP — December 7, 2009 @ 10:49 am
I love freezing leftovers and attacking them a few weeks later – it’s like getting a present
Cecilia — December 7, 2009 @ 10:49 am
Oh my gosh, I really need this because I always have leftovers!! and they always go bad/mouldy before I eat them. This would be perfect for me. I really hope that I win
thanks!!
Mimi — December 7, 2009 @ 10:49 am
I make so many leftovers every week! And this would be amazing for that.
Ali — December 7, 2009 @ 10:51 am
Being in college, I have a couple different reasons:
1) I make many meals for one and have to save the rest either in tupperware or with tinfoil. This would be great!
2) I can’t afford it on my own
roya — December 7, 2009 @ 10:51 am
This would be awesome for storing food, especially in the freezer. When I put things in bags or tupperware they still go bad from freezer burn within a week!
Elina — December 7, 2009 @ 10:52 am
Ok, I’ve actually been thinking about getting something like this because I need to start sealing cookies and other baked treats, otherwise I have NO self control!! I hope I win… I think I’m due
Liz — December 7, 2009 @ 10:52 am
I freeze tons of food and would LOVE to have this!
jenna — December 7, 2009 @ 10:53 am
i need one because i’m a single lady living alone and i ALWAYS have leftovers that i can freeze!
Elysha — December 7, 2009 @ 10:53 am
I freeze a lot of leftovers for later, but my rubbermaid containers tend to crack. This would be perfect for sealing food tightly before freezing.
leslie — December 7, 2009 @ 10:54 am
I am the only vegan in my house, so I end up with a lot of leftovers that go in the freezer. With this gadget, I could seal them up properly so they’d be great 2nd time around!
Courtney — December 7, 2009 @ 10:55 am
I hate when freezer burn happens this would help alot!
Erica — December 7, 2009 @ 10:56 am
Oh my word I definately need this in my house. The FH thinks that it’s not safe to freeze anything in bags unless they are sealed using something such as a seal a meal or the one you are giving away. But they are too expensive so he won`t allow us to get one! instead he just always throws left over food away! I`m sick and tired of making a meal eating left overs once and him throwing the rest away! so frustrating!!
suzanne — December 7, 2009 @ 10:56 am
Having this would make portioning out leftovers so much easier! Sometimes i admit they get pushed to the back of the fridge!
april — December 7, 2009 @ 10:56 am
I’m a college student and the freezer is my best friend! This would help me prepare meals ahead of time
Mary Z — December 7, 2009 @ 10:57 am
I make large batches of food on the weekends to last my family all week. This would be ideal for keeping it fresh.
greenbean — December 7, 2009 @ 10:58 am
to be able to purchase food in bulk and quit wasting food. i throw away fresh produce etc at the end of most weeks and its so wasteful. in addition to adjusting my shopping habits, a tool like this would be great.
Missy Maintains — December 7, 2009 @ 10:58 am
I need this because I never know how to save my food the right way! I always have tons of leftovers too!
SarahD — December 7, 2009 @ 10:59 am
Like everyone these days, I am watching every penny and like to take advantage of sales and buy in large quantities, so I have lots of leftovers and lots of things to freeze! This would make saving leftovers a breeze and so convenient to take for lunch the next day! I hate throwing away food so anything that can help keep it fresh sounds good to me!
Jessica — December 7, 2009 @ 10:59 am
I would love this vacuum sealer! My husband is a full time graduate student with a treacherous schedule to match. I try to make us healthy meals but our timing and appetites rarely match up. This would allow me to cook and keep leftovers more efficiently.
Katy @ These Beautiful Feet — December 7, 2009 @ 11:00 am
My husband and I desperately need one of these! Things easily go to waste when just putting them in the fridge, but the freezer leaves an awful taste into foods and things often get freezer burned. With a vacuum sealer, we could save things longer and make soups or sauces and freeeze them in individual packages making smaller meals easy! We may actually start shopping wholesale knowing we could freeze the leftover food!
Christina — December 7, 2009 @ 11:00 am
cooking for just myself i ALWAYS have leftovers!
FoodCents — December 7, 2009 @ 11:00 am
The freshness factor of this can not be beat, especially to store things like poultry and meat, allowing one to buy it on sale and store it in the freezer to last.
Leanne — December 7, 2009 @ 11:00 am
I would love this because I make lots of muffins, cookies, bars, etc. This would be a great way to store them and keep them fresh & handy so I can throw one in my gym bag on the way out the door.
Jenna — December 7, 2009 @ 11:01 am
i need this because it is a great way not to waste food and save it for later!
jenna
Aimee — December 7, 2009 @ 11:03 am
In the spring and summer my husband and I belong to a CSA, this would help make sure our weekly share never goes to waste!
Morgan H — December 7, 2009 @ 11:03 am
Im the only one in my house who eats meat, so I often have to save uncooked portions in the fridge, but even wrapped in regular plastic, it starts to spoil quickly. I think the Vacuum-Sealing System would help the meat stay fresh a lot longer!
Leanne — December 7, 2009 @ 11:04 am
Because I am too poor to be throwing away freezer-burnt leftovers!
MoodyFoody — December 7, 2009 @ 11:08 am
It would help me preserve food for a longer time when i buy them in bulk. Great for saving the homemade pesto and fruits too.
Beth @ DiningAndDishing — December 7, 2009 @ 11:08 am
Since all my roommates and I cook for ourselves there are a lot of leftovers in my house! We could really use something like this to save on all the waste!
Kristen — December 7, 2009 @ 11:09 am
I am the only person in my household who cooks and I work a lot. On my days off, I try to do lots of healthy cooking and this would help me save it for my family members~!
Jaclyn — December 7, 2009 @ 11:10 am
my favorite giveaway yet! i hate, hate, hate throwing food away so i love that this would give me a little more time to use up the food.
Sarah — December 7, 2009 @ 11:10 am
Because I hate freezer-burn and am horrible at avoiding it!
gabi — December 7, 2009 @ 11:10 am
i have alot of food allergies and am in college so i could use this to make food at home and bring back to school with me so i could always have access to food i can eat!
Leanne — December 7, 2009 @ 11:11 am
I get bored eating the same things all in a row – this would make leftovers last longer.
Roisin — December 7, 2009 @ 11:12 am
I make meals for one so it would make saving food for the future even better!
Amy E — December 7, 2009 @ 11:14 am
I’d love to have this machine because cooking for one leaves me with a lot of leftovers, and food always spoils too quickly!
Susan — December 7, 2009 @ 11:14 am
The meal saver would help me not waste as much food.
Stacey — December 7, 2009 @ 11:16 am
My head is spinning thinking of all the ways I’d use this product! If it was mine to own and love, I’d display it proudly on my countertop right next to my KitchenAid mixer. One thing of beauty deserves to be next to another!
Madeline @ Greens and Jeans — December 7, 2009 @ 11:16 am
I love to be able to make food for the coming week and this little baby would totally rock my world!
Elizabeth — December 7, 2009 @ 11:17 am
I would love to give this to my mom or Grandma
Katherine — December 7, 2009 @ 11:19 am
This would help me prepare healthy meals on the weekend and freeze them to have on busy nights!
Susan — December 7, 2009 @ 11:20 am
I cook for one alllllll the time, and eating the same thing five nights in a row gets old pretty quick! I would love to freeze for later.
Kellie — December 7, 2009 @ 11:21 am
I have three kids and when I cook, I make huge portions. This would be great to store the leftovers for meals for the rest of the week.
Ashley — December 7, 2009 @ 11:22 am
I ALWAYs cook to much and need to freeze/or put it in the fridge……So this would make my life better : )
Amisha — December 7, 2009 @ 11:22 am
I want it to save my avocados when I can’t eat the whole thing.
Vivian — December 7, 2009 @ 11:23 am
I live alone, and I always find cooking for one challenging. I end up with so many leftovers! I want to cook more at home, but hate that everything goes bad before I can use it up. I could use the mealsaver to freeze leftovers so I can eat them at a later time instead of eating the same dish for 3 days!
Heather — December 7, 2009 @ 11:23 am
I need this so that my mom (who works in a school cafeteria and always brings home leftovers so they don’t go to waste) can extend the “shelf life” of these foods so our family can eat them!
Food Makes Fun Fuel — December 7, 2009 @ 11:23 am
I dont suppose I need it but I would really really love it to help me keep my baked goods fresh
Jessica — December 7, 2009 @ 11:24 am
Although I live with a roommate (my brother), I cook mostly for myself and I hate throwing food away! This would help so much with that…
Melissa R. — December 7, 2009 @ 11:25 am
Because I have a household of picky eaters and there is always someone who doesn’t finish their food or only one person eats a certain thing, etc. I have bits and pieces of meals all over the fridge and freezer!
Melissa
Heather — December 7, 2009 @ 11:25 am
I need it to make sure I don’t waste food!
The Healthy Apple — December 7, 2009 @ 11:27 am
What a great product, Tina! This would be perfect for my food so that it doesn’t spoil..I’ve always wanted a vacuum sealer for my foods!
Ali — December 7, 2009 @ 11:28 am
I SO need one of these! I have the world’s smallest freezer. Vacuum sealing my foods would create so much extra space!
Christy — December 7, 2009 @ 11:29 am
I’ve always wanted one of these since we buy our meat in bulk and it would help keep it fresh a lot longer! No more wasted food!
katie — December 7, 2009 @ 11:29 am
i need this baby in my life because in college we have TINY freezers and fridges, not my space either.. I would love to have this to save space and keep my food fresh!
Tamara — December 7, 2009 @ 11:30 am
One of the key components to living a healthy lifestyle is planning meals ahead of time. For me, this involves relying on a lot of frozen produce and protein. Unfortunately, standard freezer bags often leave me with freezer-burned meats and veggies and it makes me sad. I need one of these babies to better preserve the quality of my food for a longer period of time. It would be more cost-effective too!
Dana — December 7, 2009 @ 11:31 am
Living by myself this would be so helpful for me to prepare and not waste food:)
Megan — December 7, 2009 @ 11:31 am
I need one because my weeks are so busy that I need to cook ahead of time on the weekends! Our food would last longer and taste fresher!
Laura — December 7, 2009 @ 11:32 am
Oh Tina! I need this more than you know!
I am about to go back to school full time at night and online while working my full time corporate finance job. I am going back to school to become a Registered Dietician because I’m miserable in my current career! Working 40+ hours a week plus taking 16 class hours is going to be very hard and therefore I HAVE to start batch cooking and freezing on the weekends so I can maintain my healthy lifestyle through this difficult transition.
Carrie H — December 7, 2009 @ 11:33 am
This thing is so cool! I need it cause I love to cook, but my husband will be five hours away at an internship next summer
so I’ll have to find a way to save my leftovers! Happy Monday!
Marcia — December 7, 2009 @ 11:34 am
I would love a food saver so I don’t have to waste food. I try to not waste much food, if any, but living on my own makes it difficult some times!
Marina — December 7, 2009 @ 11:34 am
This product looks great! It would be perfect for keeping my leftovers fresh in the fridge!
Andrea — December 7, 2009 @ 11:35 am
I am a FREAK about food being left in the fridge. I know it’s weird..but I have a sneaking suspicion that leftovers will go bad super quickly. I also feel bad about cooking on the weekend and saving it for the week when I’m too busy with classes to cook,even though I’m only cooking for myself..big food waster
Tracie (@hollafoodzone) — December 7, 2009 @ 11:35 am
I need it to seal up baked goods that I always make for presents!
Kara — December 7, 2009 @ 11:35 am
I need this because I’m sick of throwing away (wasting) my leftovers that go moldy before I get a chance to eat them!
Shannon — December 7, 2009 @ 11:36 am
I’ve been dropping hints about wanting one of these for weeks now! I live over 70 miles from Whole Foods. I’d like one so I could stock up on meat in one trip and prevent freezer burn before I use the meat!
Megan @ Megzz Wins At Life — December 7, 2009 @ 11:36 am
GREAT giveaway! I need it in my life because I can’t afford zip locks anymore
Lauren — December 7, 2009 @ 11:36 am
I hate throwing away food but it happens too often when I cook big meals for my husband and I and we don’t end up eating the leftovers as much or as quickly as hoped. This would be great!
Leah @ L4L — December 7, 2009 @ 11:37 am
Oh my word. I want. We tried adding one to our registry but Macy’s didn’t have them.
I would love love love a vaccuum sealer because I shop a lot in bulk and it would make life soooo much easier if I could portion it out and vaccuum seal it!!
Nicole — December 7, 2009 @ 11:40 am
I’m a girl on a budget and would love to be able to prepare food and safely freeze it for later use. Would help cut down on unhealthy fast food.
BethT — December 7, 2009 @ 11:40 am
ooooh, I’ve always wanted one of those…
AshinMT — December 7, 2009 @ 11:41 am
Ooh, I could totally use this in my life. I could easily freeze leftovers to use for later use. It *help* cut out those…”lets just go out” … mushroom swiss burgers i cannot deny.
Katie — December 7, 2009 @ 11:42 am
This would help us not to waste so much food!!!
Deb S — December 7, 2009 @ 11:42 am
We have a small fridge and pyrex/rubbermaid containers can be bulky. The Vacuum-Sealing Sytem would allow me to seal a lot of food without taking up a lot of space!
Elysha E — December 7, 2009 @ 11:44 am
I freeze a lot of chopped fruit for my daily smoothies, and this sealing system would be PERFECT for me!
Tammy — December 7, 2009 @ 11:45 am
I would love to have this! I tend to have a real problem with freezer burn, even though i try to pkg my stuff carefully before freezing. This would be a great help!!
Maria — December 7, 2009 @ 11:46 am
Love this giveaway! We do a lot of cooking on weekends and freezer cooking-soups, pasta sauces, roasted peppers, etc. This would be perfect!
Jeannie — December 7, 2009 @ 11:46 am
To save money and time, I like to cook in bulk and freeze things. This would be awesome to have!
Jennifer — December 7, 2009 @ 11:49 am
We generate a lot of leftovers… keeping them for later would save from waste!
Rae — December 7, 2009 @ 11:50 am
I work at BJs, so i buy alot od their meats…but only have a family of 2! This would be great!
Lindsey — December 7, 2009 @ 11:51 am
I buy and cook in bulk, this would be so helpful!
ari — December 7, 2009 @ 11:54 am
Too many leftovers!
allison — December 7, 2009 @ 11:54 am
to save money!
kimmie — December 7, 2009 @ 11:55 am
well i love cooking and prepping meals but its just me so it would be great to have to keep my food fresh and yummy
Allyson — December 7, 2009 @ 11:58 am
That is so cool! It would be amazing for keeping extra cookies fresh and AWAY from me so I don’t eat them all in one sitting
Abby — December 7, 2009 @ 11:59 am
My husband and I don’t have any kids, so when I cook. it’s just for the two of us. However, he doesn’t like to eat the same thing a few days in a row, so I feel like I end up throwing so much food away when it goes bad in the refrigerator or because they’re freezer burnt. I’d love this to freeze the leftovers!
Tracey — December 7, 2009 @ 12:00 pm
I hate to admit it but I tend to waste food. I make so much of it and the leftovers always go bad. This would totally help!
Amy B — December 7, 2009 @ 12:02 pm
Because I cook for myself only, so I don’t like to do it often. I think this would make me a cooking and then freezing machine!
Cynthia (It All Changes) — December 7, 2009 @ 12:05 pm
I have been wanting one of these FOR-EV-ER! We buy bulk alot of the time to save money but don’t have a way to seperate things except with ziplock bags. Please pick me! And it makes marinating so much easier.
Cathy P — December 7, 2009 @ 12:06 pm
This way I won’t waste food anymore! Awesome giveaway!
Britni — December 7, 2009 @ 12:07 pm
I’m in college and therefore I love saving money! No wasted food!
Amanda — December 7, 2009 @ 12:07 pm
This would be great for me because I usually do most of my cooking on Sundays for the rest of the week. I tend to overesitmate how much food I’ll eat, so this would help me to store and freeze the leftovers more easily.
Rita — December 7, 2009 @ 12:07 pm
It would help me keep the meat in my freezer longer. I hate wasting food.
Jen — December 7, 2009 @ 12:09 pm
I make a lot of extra food when I cook for my boyfriend to reheat when I’m not around. This would help with the freezer storage!
lisa — December 7, 2009 @ 12:09 pm
Awesome idea!
This would save me so much time & money! My food always get freezer burn- and I HATE wasting food!
Temi — December 7, 2009 @ 12:12 pm
This would be a huge help! I need to save all the money I can! And I am not very good with freezing foods properly!
JE — December 7, 2009 @ 12:13 pm
I come from an Italian family so even though I cook for just my boyfriend and I, there’s always enough left over for an army. I need this in my life!
Lauren — December 7, 2009 @ 12:13 pm
I freeze a lot of things so it would be good for that, and for keeping those bags of salad fresh in the fridge longer!
Ben — December 7, 2009 @ 12:14 pm
If I could show you how much food I waste in a week, you would be appalled. I have wanted one of these for FOREVER! It would help me stretch a dollar, make larger meals and stretch them and eat healthier overall. Help this poor California boy out!
Fallon — December 7, 2009 @ 12:17 pm
The food saver system would work perfectly for my boyfriend in Iraq. I like to send him baked goods and this would keep them extra fresh!
Diane — December 7, 2009 @ 12:19 pm
It would be great for freezing and make leftovers so much easier!
Susan — December 7, 2009 @ 12:22 pm
It would be great to freeze meals for my family and assure my two sweet boys a healthy dinner!
Yasmin — December 7, 2009 @ 12:22 pm
I only have one refrigerator, and having this would help A LOT with my freezer space efficiency
Ann K — December 7, 2009 @ 12:22 pm
My fiance and I are actors, so we are on a tight budget all the time. We try to shop at big box stores for our perishable items, unfortunately they do tend to spoil so a vacume packer would be great for sealing all those very fresh things (meat/veggies) that are so good that tend to spoil so quickly without nasty preservatves!
Thanks!
Gigi — December 7, 2009 @ 12:23 pm
Recently started a weight loss program, this would definitely help in preparing & storing several meals at a time.
katy — December 7, 2009 @ 12:24 pm
ah, this would be clutch. i live by myself and have trouble remembering to eat leftovers before they go bad. homegirl is broke and needs all the help she can get saving on the ol’ grocery bill!
Myra — December 7, 2009 @ 12:24 pm
I’m trying to eat more veggies, but they go bad too fast.
Lauren — December 7, 2009 @ 12:24 pm
Working full time mom. Don’t have a lot of time to shop on the weekends so I try to buy in bulk and freeze. This would be so helpful.
Brenda — December 7, 2009 @ 12:24 pm
We buy in bulk so I would love to have this Foodsaver Mealsaver Sealing Storage system to save us money and to help with portion control.
Dara — December 7, 2009 @ 12:24 pm
My husband and I make at least 2 soups per week in the winter. We end up throwing out a lot of soup, this would really help save some money and stop wasting so much food!
Kara — December 7, 2009 @ 12:24 pm
I hate (HATE) throwing away food that’s gone bad — this would be such a great tool to have to keep things fresh!!
Jess — December 7, 2009 @ 12:25 pm
I really need this! I feel so bad when I waste food since I live alone and don’t go thru veggies fast enough!
Steph — December 7, 2009 @ 12:25 pm
I hate wasting food, but I would love to buy it in bulk for the cost benefits. This would be a great item to help with that! No moldy food!
julie — December 7, 2009 @ 12:26 pm
This would be an awesome product to win. It would be easier to buy large quantities knowing they can be kept fresh!
Rashmi — December 7, 2009 @ 12:26 pm
Wow, if i win it then i will have less time in the kitchen and more time with my family plus eat home cooked healthy Meals all the time.
Madeleine@Notes On A Page — December 7, 2009 @ 12:28 pm
I love cooking in bulk and saving for later! This would make it so much easier!
Nicole — December 7, 2009 @ 12:33 pm
Because I love eating food and hate wasting food! If I know I have this handy dandy gadget to save my leftovers, I won’t eat as much knowing I can save it for later
Dima — December 7, 2009 @ 12:34 pm
I hate wasting food and as a busy mom, this would save me so much time!
kelsey — December 7, 2009 @ 12:35 pm
i live by myself and have a very busy schedule. i hate to let food go to waste but also don’t want to have to eat the same meal for days! the foodsaver would help me out from wasting food and allow me to eat a bit of variety! : )
Amanda — December 7, 2009 @ 12:35 pm
This would help soooo much in all the food that I freeze “for later.” I hate freezer burn.
joan — December 7, 2009 @ 12:37 pm
This would be so helpful and time-saving when making and planning my weekly meals! Less food waste too!
Gina — December 7, 2009 @ 12:37 pm
I would use it to keep my veggies fresh. Sometimes they go bad before I can use them all up!
Lisa — December 7, 2009 @ 12:38 pm
I LOVE to cook, but usually find myself with too many leftovers since I live alone. This would let me freeze more food without the fear of the dreaded freezerburn!
Scott — December 7, 2009 @ 12:38 pm
I need the FoodSaver MealSaver Compact Vacuum-Sealing System so that I can prepare foods ahead of time for my wife and freeze them before I go out of town on business. Sealing and freezing prepared meals would make it easy for her to eat my home cooking while I am away.
Kay — December 7, 2009 @ 12:40 pm
I’m a student so I only cook on weekends and rely on leftovers for the rest of the week. This would help me keep my big batches of food fresh!
Dynamics — December 7, 2009 @ 12:40 pm
Being single a FoodSaver would Sav my life. It would allow me to have variety in my food choices without the food going bad. This new model of FoodSaver looks very Chic. Thank you.
Whitney — December 7, 2009 @ 12:41 pm
I think this would be great to help save money- so much food gets wasted when it goes bad so quickly!
Sara — December 7, 2009 @ 12:45 pm
As a poor college student, I try to make leftovers last as long as possible, but I get so sick of eating the same thing all week! With the vacuum saver I could seal it up and freeze it, and eat it weeks later without the taste being compromised.
Meryl — December 7, 2009 @ 12:45 pm
It’s just my husband and I- so I frequently prepare a meal and freeze half for another night.. this would keep the freezer burn out
Christina — December 7, 2009 @ 12:46 pm
My dad is obsessed with these things! He would love it!
Kristen K — December 7, 2009 @ 12:46 pm
This FoodSaver would be perfect because I work looonnngggg hours during the week. To be able to make dinners ahead of time so that I could exhaustingly come home to reheat them – that would be fantastic!
<3
ella — December 7, 2009 @ 12:46 pm
I can NEVER get plastic wrap to work correctly! It’s always sticking to itself and never what I need sealed! A vacuum sealer would not only save my food from drying out and going bad, but also my SANITY.
Kathleen — December 7, 2009 @ 12:47 pm
I need one because im in college and im very low on money!! This would help me to get everything i can out of all the food that i buy because food is the one thing i dont go cheap on (okay…and shoes, clothes, and bags)…and all my roommates will be super jealous
Grace — December 7, 2009 @ 12:47 pm
I need it so I can freeze my pumpkin pancakes!
Keri — December 7, 2009 @ 12:49 pm
I need one because I’m a graduate student living alone. I’m low on money, so would love to take advantage of the bulk prices at Costco – but I don’t have any way to store 10 steaks or 3 lb of broccoli. This would be great for helping me save money – and it would help me save time in the long run, too!
Abbey M. — December 7, 2009 @ 12:52 pm
I am always buying fresh boneless skinless chicken breasts in bulk. I then split them up into freezer ziplock bags. Sometimes they just don’t stay as fresh as what they could. The Foodsaver could really save me some money!
Kate — December 7, 2009 @ 12:52 pm
This would allow me to make meals ahead of time for my family. love it!
Jen — December 7, 2009 @ 12:53 pm
i would love to get my produce to last longer! the foodsaver seems ideal.
Sheila — December 7, 2009 @ 12:55 pm
it’s hard cooking for one, so this would be great!
Ashley C — December 7, 2009 @ 12:56 pm
This is super cool! I love gadgets like this and would use it on everything because I’m a dork like that. It would be great for my homemade granola bars
JW — December 7, 2009 @ 12:57 pm
I need this because I am single and living on my own-and this would be a great way to seal leftovers for future meals!
cellabella — December 7, 2009 @ 12:58 pm
I’m obsessed with saving leftovers, in the fridge or freezer. This would be awesome instead of the billion of ziploc bags that I use up!
Beth — December 7, 2009 @ 12:59 pm
To save leftovers from going bad, since it’s just my husband and I!
Sarah R — December 7, 2009 @ 12:59 pm
We buy all of our meat in bulk and need a good way to freeze it.
Rajitha — December 7, 2009 @ 12:59 pm
Being on a single income and lots of medical bills to pay, this gadget would be so helpful to save money for us (DH and me). Also, i am trying to lose weight…so this would be perfect to prepare meals and freeze the balance for the another meal.
Anne — December 7, 2009 @ 1:06 pm
I’m getting ready to start a fulltime job and this would be perfect for making meals in advance to save me time!
Mag — December 7, 2009 @ 1:07 pm
I buy locally and humanely raised meat in larger quantities to save money – this would help keep all that great stuff longer in the freezer!
Lindsey — December 7, 2009 @ 1:09 pm
I need one to store leftovers properly, so they’ll stay nice (which means I’ll actually enjoy them)
becky — December 7, 2009 @ 1:11 pm
i need the mealsaver because i hate when my apples get all brown
Corinne — December 7, 2009 @ 1:13 pm
i love fresh veggies and fruit HOWEVER, since im the only one really eating these things in my apt, they go bad very quickly. this would make it so i wouldn’t have to throw out all my fresh produce!!
Amy — December 7, 2009 @ 1:14 pm
I have always wanted a food saver. I make a lot of meals on the weekends so that I can grab and go on weekdays when I come home from work. I’m a teacher, and my time is usually spent grading papers on weekday nights. I still want to eat healthy, so this is the perfect solution. No more freezer burn on my pre-prep efforts!
Lindsay C — December 7, 2009 @ 1:15 pm
I love to keep leftovers from my moms weekend meals and I think that this would allow me to not cook alot during the week and would allow me to eat nutritionally aswell!!
Jeannie — December 7, 2009 @ 1:15 pm
With the FoodSaver, I would be able cook during my downtime and have healthy, vegan food available even when I’m too busy to cook.
Amandamoo — December 7, 2009 @ 1:16 pm
I’d love this! I eat way more veggies than the hubbie and prepare a lot at one time. Sometimes they go bad before I can get to them and this would keep them better longer! Woohooo!
Alicia — December 7, 2009 @ 1:21 pm
I need the FoodSaver MealSaver so I can keep my leftovers fresh. It looks pretty petite too so I can keep it on the counter in my small apartment!
Ildie — December 7, 2009 @ 1:24 pm
The reason is ever so simple. I live with a leftover-hatin-man.
I on the other hand adore leftovers. NO MEAL SHALL GO IN THE TRASH! But of course, I am but one person. Sometimes I just can’t eat it all before it goes bad.
Deanna — December 7, 2009 @ 1:24 pm
I like to purchase things in bulk so the food saver would make packing simple for me. I could put my serving in a bag and vacum it up and freeze exactly what is needed. I would also love it for veggies and cheese in the fridge to keep things fresh and lasting longer!
Good Taste. Healthy Me — December 7, 2009 @ 1:25 pm
I would love this. I always have leftovers for my boyfriend and I so this would be a great way to store them!
Courtney — December 7, 2009 @ 1:25 pm
This would be awesome for keeping all your meats, etc. fresh!!
Stephanie — December 7, 2009 @ 1:26 pm
I like to buy/cook in bulk and freeze, but some things get freezer burned if there is air in there. Would love to give this a try!
Jessica — December 7, 2009 @ 1:26 pm
I think all of us in the blog community need one! I need one to save all the delicious recipes I try to everyone’s pages! Also, no cheeses or veggies should ever go to waste so the FoodSaver MealSaver would prevent any of that nonsense from happening in my house
Ris — December 7, 2009 @ 1:27 pm
I try to stock my dad’s freezer whenever I’m home since he works long hours and usually doesn’t have time/energy/motivation to cook for himself and my little sister – so this would be great for me to make sure they’re getting good meals that aren’t all freezer burned (since all they eat when they run out of my meals is pasta, sandwiches or takeout! )
Deva (Voracious Vorilee) — December 7, 2009 @ 1:28 pm
I would want it for leftovers and fruits and veggies I want to freeze to have later, as well as leftovers from dinner, things to put in my lunch….
Rose — December 7, 2009 @ 1:32 pm
I will vacuum seal everything in my life. Maybe even the cat.
Just kidding.
Clare — December 7, 2009 @ 1:33 pm
I live by myself and this would be so perfect to store extra food with so I don’t have to eat the same thing all week long!
Amy — December 7, 2009 @ 1:33 pm
I love cooking but always have so many leftovers so I have to save/freeze everything!
Catherine — December 7, 2009 @ 1:33 pm
Wow! That’s so cool! I think I need that because I am a poor college student and pack my lunch all the time and that would be a very efficient way to do that!
bridget — December 7, 2009 @ 1:36 pm
i’m in grad school and love my crockpot meals and making them in advance…now i could ward off freezer burn!
Jenny — December 7, 2009 @ 1:37 pm
I love to mix big batches of bread, pizza dough, biscuits and freeze them in a few portions – with a vacuum sealer they would last much longer. Plus my boyfriend just bought a deep freezer so that he can go hunting this year. A vacuum sealer will be great for protecting the wild game.
Andrea — December 7, 2009 @ 1:41 pm
I always have left overs and would love to keep them fresher.
Jen — December 7, 2009 @ 1:42 pm
This product is great! It would definitely help prevent wasting food and throwing out leftovers, which I do way too often…
Hannah (Balancing on Two Feet) — December 7, 2009 @ 1:43 pm
This would be great to help me store meals that I prepare a lot of and want to save for later.
Arlene — December 7, 2009 @ 1:43 pm
I live alone, so anytime I try a new recipe, even if I halve it, I have leftovers. It’d be great to be able to vaccuum-pack and freeze them — my own frozen dinners. They’d taste better than Lean Cuisine!
Jasmine — December 7, 2009 @ 1:44 pm
I hate wasting food and love freezing leftovers, so this would be perfect.
Liane — December 7, 2009 @ 1:44 pm
Every week I make one large batch of something for lunches and dinners…. I would love a way to protect all my frozen foods from freezer burn!
Ashley C — December 7, 2009 @ 1:47 pm
I really need this! I am trying to eat healthy meals instead of processed or fast foods and this would be a great help! I am a full time student in nursing school and I work full time as well. Having this would allow me to prepare healthy meals on the weekend to enjoy throughout the week!
Vee — December 7, 2009 @ 1:50 pm
I waste soo much food! This would be so great! Thank you!
Cat — December 7, 2009 @ 1:50 pm
I want one! I would LOVE to be able to buy more things in bulk – but I HATE wasting food and not everything freezes well in Ziploc.
Amanda — December 7, 2009 @ 1:50 pm
As, a new graduate money is really tight. I hate throwing out food because it spoiled. It’s a huge waist of money. A food saver would be a life saver!
Kelly — December 7, 2009 @ 1:52 pm
leftovers, baby!
Lisa Y — December 7, 2009 @ 1:56 pm
Im a poor college student, and this definitely help me save leftovers!
Stephanie — December 7, 2009 @ 1:58 pm
I’m always making food in big batches over the weekend and storing them in individual portion sizes for the busy weekday nights – this sealing system would be the perfect tool for me!
Carrie — December 7, 2009 @ 1:58 pm
We are ALWAYS throwing good food away because it goes bad. This would help us keep the food longer and save money.
Jenna — December 7, 2009 @ 1:59 pm
Mike and I waste SO much food. This would be perfect for us!
Carly — December 7, 2009 @ 2:01 pm
I would definitely use this to help cut down on food waste. I’m usually cooking for just me, and love cooking in big batches, but sometimes leftovers get thrown away (or freezer burn.)
Jenny — December 7, 2009 @ 2:05 pm
I owuld love this becuase I tend to buy my groceries on sunday and make meals but then I sometimes get stuck traveling for my job all week and by Friday the food is bad! This would save me tons of time and $$
JessicaE — December 7, 2009 @ 2:07 pm
My Husband and i are both great at eating leftovers…. i just wish we had something besides messy Tupperware to store it it. This would work Great, Tina, thanks so much.
Scorpio Woman — December 7, 2009 @ 2:08 pm
I need one because I’m a cooking machine
Erika — December 7, 2009 @ 2:17 pm
oh man, I registered for one of these when I got married and no one bought it for us. I tend to make huge batches of everything I cook/bake and this would be great so I would never have wasted leftovers. Please please please pick my number!!!!!
Kristacular — December 7, 2009 @ 2:20 pm
This is awesome!! I love to make meals ahead of time and freeze them, but they are often frostbitten. This would be much better!
Thanks!
Sarah — December 7, 2009 @ 2:23 pm
I would love a FoodSaver Vacuum-sealing system to help reduce the amount of freezer burn I get from my ancient old refrigerator. I also only try to go grocery shopping every two weeks because it helps me spend less money, but I buy a lot of produce and have found it difficult to keep it fresh that long!!!!
Niki — December 7, 2009 @ 2:23 pm
I would give this to my mom. Her food saver broke and she doesnt have the money to buy a brand new one right now.
Jessica — December 7, 2009 @ 2:24 pm
because i eat fruit and veggies for days and i would love them to stay fresh as long as possible!
Therese — December 7, 2009 @ 2:25 pm
I have a child with a food allergy. I’m always making meals to keep in the freezer so I have something safe to serve him in a moment’s notice, especially during this busy time of year! Take out is not an option for him. This would be so helpful.
Natalie — December 7, 2009 @ 2:26 pm
because we’re currently a family of 2, my hubby and i have a hard time finishing all the “fresh” food while it’s still fresh. this would eliminate our need to throw away food!!! i HATE throwing away food!
kelly — December 7, 2009 @ 2:34 pm
My husband and I have CRAZY schedules. We are always in and out of the house…sometimes we miss having dinner together. This would be a fantastic way to save out meals
Kristin — December 7, 2009 @ 2:35 pm
Oh man, I would kill for one of these! Besides keeping my leftovers super fresh, I’d use it for sous vide cooking.
Theorist — December 7, 2009 @ 2:35 pm
Wow! what a great give away .I prepare most of my meals for the week on the weekend. Lately I have been making lots of soup but would really benefit from being able to freeze at least a few days of each soup to give me more variety. Thanks!
Danielle J — December 7, 2009 @ 2:41 pm
So food wont keep going bad when things get busy and I can pre-prep meals on the weekend
N — December 7, 2009 @ 2:44 pm
I need this because i wast hundreds of dollars a MONTH on groceries that i throw out because they go bad. I could either buy less….or have this little machine to keep my food fresher longer.
Wendy (GiveLoveCreateHappiness) — December 7, 2009 @ 2:44 pm
This is awesome! I love to make larger portions of food and freeze half for busy nights. This would be perfect for that!
Caitlin — December 7, 2009 @ 2:44 pm
I’m a busy student, but I still love to cook when I have time. This would allow me to cook large portions and save them for those crazy nights!
suzie — December 7, 2009 @ 2:46 pm
oh man. I love vacuum sealing things!
Annie — December 7, 2009 @ 2:48 pm
i’m a college student and a gadget like this would allow me to store food for a longer period of time and not worry about it going bad quickly!
Carly — December 7, 2009 @ 2:49 pm
I totally need this! We buy most of our meat in bulk, so we freeze a lot of it. Also, as I am a teacher and bring my lunch with me every day, this would allow me use my leftovers without worrrying how long they will be good for!
Deb — December 7, 2009 @ 2:50 pm
This would be great for me and the hubby. I recently started working nights so it would be perfect to make extra meals for when he’s home during the week!
Sara N — December 7, 2009 @ 2:54 pm
This would be great to cook in batches and freeze for later!
Allyson — December 7, 2009 @ 2:55 pm
Because who couldn’t use a food saver?! I’ve def been toying with the idea of getting one. This would be perfect!
JL — December 7, 2009 @ 2:57 pm
I hate wasting food, so this would be great to keep leftovers fresh!
Katy — December 7, 2009 @ 3:03 pm
I’m moving to Sri Lanka in two months–this would be awesome so I could keep the bugs away and of course have everything else stay fresh in the fridge and not waste as much!
Laura — December 7, 2009 @ 3:05 pm
This looks like it could keep food fresh forever! I’ve always wanted one of these
DebinHawaii — December 7, 2009 @ 3:06 pm
I need a food saver as I cook a lot for just me and need a way to better save my leftovers in fridge or freezer. Thanks!
Camila F. — December 7, 2009 @ 3:07 pm
I need it because I hate wasting food and because I
Camila F. — December 7, 2009 @ 3:08 pm
@Camila F.: love to cook!
chau — December 7, 2009 @ 3:09 pm
i ihave leftovers when coooking. I really dont know how to cut back on the amount when cook so when cooking for two, i end up cooking for four!!
sorry for the horrible typos
Tay — December 7, 2009 @ 3:10 pm
Oh this thing looks so cool! I’d love it because we have awful freezers here at school, and my stuff always gets frostbite
Angie (Losing It and Loving It) — December 7, 2009 @ 3:10 pm
Hubby likes to prepare meals over the weekend for the next week sometimes so this would be very helpful to keep things fresh and also not take up so much fridge room.
junghwa — December 7, 2009 @ 3:12 pm
i have so much leftover after cooking and baking so this would be a great way for me to save food and money~
Fit Lizzio — December 7, 2009 @ 3:13 pm
wow this would be SO helpful. i am a fitness competitor and when i travel, it is really not fun to put a bunch of chicken breast into sandwich baggies. this could bea dream come true!
Shannon — December 7, 2009 @ 3:14 pm
This would be great for my home made beef jerky!!
jen — December 7, 2009 @ 3:22 pm
I need this because I buy in bulk and throw too much away!!! Even when I try to freeze stuff, the freezer burn always gets it! This would help with that!
andrea — December 7, 2009 @ 3:22 pm
This would be great to help me keep food fresh so I can take it to work with me.
I live alone, so sometimes I make too much food, and it ends up getting wasted because it doesn’t last long enough.
Also, I am trying to save money, and have been trying to take food to work rather than buying.
Tasha — December 7, 2009 @ 3:27 pm
I would use it for Produce. I like to buy a lot of produce in bulk and it would help a bunch
ariana — December 7, 2009 @ 3:31 pm
i hate wasting food and i get really sketched out by leaving things in the fridge too long… and i hate freezer burn!
okra — December 7, 2009 @ 3:35 pm
Would love to store some things without putting 3 ounces in a 1 gallon bag.
caitlin — December 7, 2009 @ 3:37 pm
This would be great for me to pack snacks and lunch for when I’m spending time on the skiing on the mountain.
daisy — December 7, 2009 @ 3:43 pm
This would be great to keep my food sealed and away from my roomates grummy paws!
Emily J — December 7, 2009 @ 3:47 pm
I am a married student and having a few meals safely frozen in the freezer for the last minute for me and my husband would be great!
Kelsy — December 7, 2009 @ 3:50 pm
This would be great! I’m a college student that loves to cook, but it’s impossible to keep food from going bad when you’re cooking just for one
Kelly — December 7, 2009 @ 3:50 pm
My husband has recently discovered deer hunting. And is apparently pretty good at it. I have 70 pounds of deer meat in my freezer to show for it, and this contraption would make storage SO much easier
Kelli — December 7, 2009 @ 4:03 pm
Aww I could use this to store all the kids food that they don’t eat every night Great idea!
Katie S. — December 7, 2009 @ 4:05 pm
I would love to have this machine. I am a recent college graduate and any money I can save on groceries by using this would be much appreciated!
Catherine — December 7, 2009 @ 4:09 pm
I definitely need this in my life. I cook dinner for my husband and myself every night, and there is always a ton of leftover food. I would love to be able to freeze the leftovers with this handy dandy machine.
ashleigh — December 7, 2009 @ 4:09 pm
i need this because all of my food goes bad!!
blair — December 7, 2009 @ 4:11 pm
Would love to have this! I’m the leftover queen and it’d be great to be able to freeze leftovers instead of eating the same meal 3 days in a row!
Lynn (The Actors Diet) — December 7, 2009 @ 4:13 pm
i am constantly freezing stuff – this would be great to prevent the dreaded “burn”
Wendy — December 7, 2009 @ 4:14 pm
I despise waste, stale food, rotton food, freezer burnt food, and love fresh to frozen with no waste!
Jen — December 7, 2009 @ 4:15 pm
Hi Tina,
I commute 3 hours each day to get to and from my job. In order to eat healthily, my husband and I cook healthy meals the Sunday before. This would be a great addition to our kitchen, as our meals would last longer and taste much fresher than keeping them in standard containers for the entire week.
Thanks for the chance to win. Happy holidays!!
Jen
Jessie C. — December 7, 2009 @ 4:25 pm
The current ziploc methods not working for all food, I’d like this new toy to help!
Cara — December 7, 2009 @ 4:34 pm
This would be great for leftovers!
Laura — December 7, 2009 @ 4:37 pm
It would make it so much easier to make meals for the whole week!
selina — December 7, 2009 @ 4:40 pm
I need it so I stop eating everything in sight thinking they are going to go bad soon!
Lynna — December 7, 2009 @ 4:44 pm
I never got the hang of cooking for 4, much less for 2 (the kids are grown and gone). This would be so helpful to store my many leftovers!
Chloe (Naturally Frugal) — December 7, 2009 @ 4:44 pm
I need it to pack away seasonal produce and fruits – if only I could store pomegranate seeds and persimmons forever!
Kara — December 7, 2009 @ 4:48 pm
I would love this! It’s just my husband and I, so it’d be nice to make full-sized meals to easily pack away for later.
Erica Haggins — December 7, 2009 @ 5:11 pm
This would come in real handy with freezing turkey my husbands usually gets me about 6 turkeys around this time of year and I cut them up and grind up the breast divide them into meals and freeze em.
sue — December 7, 2009 @ 5:12 pm
i love cooking big slow cooker meals, and this would be great for storing the leftovers!
CookTeen — December 7, 2009 @ 5:20 pm
So my cookies last longer! I give them to people so this way so many cookies dont go to waste!
Korrie — December 7, 2009 @ 5:21 pm
I need this food saver because I cook for only my bf and myself. This would be awesome to save all the leftovers we have. A great way to have a quick meal for one when the bf or I have to work late!
Alyssa — December 7, 2009 @ 5:29 pm
So many of my foods go to waste b/c I forget about them!
Yvonne — December 7, 2009 @ 5:30 pm
How cool! I would like this b/c it is way less bulky than tupperware for leftovers, and right now I am working with a mini-fridge!
molly — December 7, 2009 @ 6:07 pm
I would love one because I hate throwing out leftovers. I make lots of food over the weekend because I stay busy during the week as a teacher.
Laura E — December 7, 2009 @ 6:13 pm
I need this because I recently opened a package of cheese and turkey to make a sandwich and they were both spoiled!! I guess I need to work on tightening my bags all the way..Thanks for the opportunity!
Ruth — December 7, 2009 @ 6:41 pm
My hubby and I are the leftover king and queen! We try to make our food last for as long as we can. This would be fabulous for keeping our leftovers fresh!
Leah — December 7, 2009 @ 6:44 pm
A husband, 2 daughters and 4 lunches to make: enough said
chocolatepickle — December 7, 2009 @ 6:47 pm
I would love that system because we often stock up on meat when it’s on sale so it would make freezing things so much easier and no more freezer burn!
dc — December 7, 2009 @ 6:51 pm
I get in trouble all the time that I have left “too much air” in the container or bag…
Laila — December 7, 2009 @ 6:57 pm
Because I would like to freeze more meals.
Kelly W. — December 7, 2009 @ 7:02 pm
I need this for my family of boys.
All they really want this Christmas is toys.
So Mom would like this Vacuum seal
To be able to make a really fresh meal!
Christie — December 7, 2009 @ 7:07 pm
I need this because it would be awesome for my household of 2 where we always have leftovers
Ellie Tokar — December 7, 2009 @ 7:08 pm
I like making healthy meals on Sunday to last all week, but I live alone so food goes bad quickly!
Paula — December 7, 2009 @ 7:42 pm
I have a large Italian family needless to say we ALWAYS have leftovers lol This would be wonderful to keep everything fresh and last longer! I do not like to waste that is why I NEED the FoodSaverMealSaver Compact Vacuum-Sealing System (in white)! in my life :}
Jocelyne — December 7, 2009 @ 7:44 pm
Like a lot of others I am single and until recently never cooked for myself because I couldn’t save allllll the leftovers for very long. I’m cooking like a mad woman lately and it is so much fun and I feel like having this handy food saver would save me A LOT of money on my grocery bill!
Lisa — December 7, 2009 @ 8:03 pm
To minimize waste!
Julie — December 7, 2009 @ 8:04 pm
Single girl in the house! I like making meals for myself, but things tend to go to waste because I can’t eat them fast enough.
amanda — December 7, 2009 @ 8:07 pm
I make too much baked goods and freezer burn just can ruin them so badly!! I’d love to have this!
kat — December 7, 2009 @ 8:12 pm
I would love to use this to make meals ahead of time or to freeze leftovers. My boyfriends job feeds him all three meals a day so I usually have a ton of leftovers when I cook!
KatieRose — December 7, 2009 @ 8:16 pm
I would love to give this to my sister for a Christmas present. She wastes so much food and leftovers because it’s just her and her husband!
Michele — December 7, 2009 @ 8:22 pm
I would be able to buy food in bulk and freeze it.
Jenn — December 7, 2009 @ 8:42 pm
I would love to have a MealSaver Vacuum Sealer! I need one because I’m in grad school right now and trying to eat healthy is a big hit on my small, small wallet!
Jessi — December 7, 2009 @ 8:52 pm
Over the last year, I’ve started using my freezer probably 12x as much as I used to. I do a lot of cooking specifically for the freezer, which means I go through a lot of ziploc bags, plastic wrap, and plastic bowls. A vacuum sealer would condense a lot of this and would probably save me food that ends up going bad when a bag or bowl is broken.
Morgan — December 7, 2009 @ 9:00 pm
Since i live alone this would be wonderful for freezing my leftovers, which i always have!

photodelicious — December 7, 2009 @ 9:12 pm
so food will stay fresher longer and save me money so i can pay my student loans!
Teresa — December 7, 2009 @ 9:14 pm
I would use it to store my food for the week that i make ahead of time to eat. I need to since I have to juggle school and work and everything else.

I need this because I waste SO much money on food that goes bad. It makes me crazy and I would save money and feel less guilty if I could vacuum seal it all up!
Michael — December 7, 2009 @ 9:27 pm
This would be great to buy in bulk and to keep food fresher, longer.
I need this!!!
Shelly — December 7, 2009 @ 9:29 pm
This would be great to send treats to my fiance in Argentina!
Brie (The Fit Bride) — December 7, 2009 @ 9:35 pm
I really need a more efficient way to freeze foods! Everything gets all freezer burned and gross. This would be perfect.
Emily — December 7, 2009 @ 9:37 pm
I have a 2 year old that never finishes anything at one time….
Diana — December 7, 2009 @ 9:40 pm
As a college student, I cook for myself and I always find it hard to store the leftovers! This would be a great way to store my food safely.
Lindsey — December 7, 2009 @ 9:42 pm
I would love this gadget It would allow me to try out more recipes in the kitchen and bring out my inner chef!
Jenny — December 7, 2009 @ 9:45 pm
This is awesome! We’ve been having some bug problems in our kitchen (Ewww!!!) This could definitely stop those bugs from digging into our stuff!!!
Bev P — December 7, 2009 @ 9:47 pm
I have 3 kids at home, all teens & early 20′s that have schedules that never match up with dinners. While I end up making enough for all of us plus my fiance, end result is tons of leftovers. The great part is, even when the kids don’t want the leftovers because theyv’e eaten crappy take out foods… .I end up eating healthier when I have them around (I make better healthier foods so of course eating those leftovers would be better for me than going for take out). Add to that the fact that I need to watch my money, limited income on disability after cancer. Having the ability to keep leftovers fresh & handy to reuse quickly…. what more could I ask for?
Monica — December 7, 2009 @ 9:48 pm
perfect for leftovers
Kate K — December 7, 2009 @ 9:50 pm
I try to make food ahead of time and save it for later but it always ends up going bad before I can eat it. Cooking for one can be difficult when recipes are made for multiple servings. This would be a great food saver!
Jennifer R. — December 7, 2009 @ 9:51 pm
Would LOVE to win this!! I have a family of 5 and this would be perfect for the leftovers. Sometimes I make double and freeze the extra, and again, this would be awesome! thanks for a great giveaway!!!
Megan — December 7, 2009 @ 9:59 pm
Keeping food fresh so my picky child doesn’t have to eat the same food twice in a row!!!
Jennifer — December 7, 2009 @ 10:01 pm
Two words: freezer burn!
kathy — December 7, 2009 @ 10:03 pm
A food keeper! Wonderful! My son and his wife have one–I have watched them use it over and over again–it would be just wonderful if I had one also!
Mastering Public Health — December 7, 2009 @ 10:03 pm
We need this because we have so many leftovers. Plus, my family loves gadgets.
Lisa — December 7, 2009 @ 10:09 pm
I would definitely freeze more foods if I had one of these!
Carin — December 7, 2009 @ 10:13 pm
My husband travels during the week so I’m usually just cooking for myself and always have leftovers. I need this because I hate throwing food away and am always looking for better ways to package leftovers to ensure fresher food the next day.
Donna — December 7, 2009 @ 10:18 pm
I wouldn’t waste so much food
Lisa — December 7, 2009 @ 10:18 pm
I would love to use this to buy our meat in bulk and freeze it correctly! Thanks!

Laura — December 7, 2009 @ 10:52 pm
because i love blueberries more than life but they’re disgusting and pesticide-y in the winter so i can’t eat them
if i have this, i’ll buy A TON in summer and freeze them for laterrr
delphine — December 7, 2009 @ 11:08 pm
i would love to start buying in bulk to save money and this would definitely help
Misty — December 7, 2009 @ 11:09 pm
When trying to eat healthily on a budget, fresh food can be a nightmare because it can go bad fairly quickly. It would also make it easier to prepare meals in advance, so that lunches and meals on the go can be more healthy.
Holly W — December 7, 2009 @ 11:16 pm
I waste food all the time. I just don’t get to it quickly enough. Hopefully the vacuum sealer would allow me to save food and money!
marie — December 7, 2009 @ 11:20 pm
I need this because I like to cook big batches of beans and chili for freezing. This would be great for packing individual meals to throw in the freezer.
Shannon — December 7, 2009 @ 11:48 pm
I waste so much food~ Its pretty sad.
Lacey — December 7, 2009 @ 11:54 pm
I’m working on making better choices with my food. And with the help of this, I could plan ahead and make a big batch of something and throw it in the freezer and take it out on days when I’m starving and in a hurry. And then I wouldn’t be tempted to eat junk because it’s more convenient. It would also allow me to preserve veggies if I’ve bought more than I ate that week.
Teagn — December 7, 2009 @ 11:55 pm
I hate to waste food!
I have enough frozen leftovers for the next apocalypse, so I know I’d make good use out of this.
MarathonVal — December 7, 2009 @ 11:56 pm
I would love this because I HATE to waste food, but sadly I am often forced to do so anyway! Thanks for the giveaway!
Sammi — December 7, 2009 @ 11:57 pm
I basically live at home alone most of the time. My dad’s an airline pilot so he’s always off at work so it just leaves me here. It’s so hard for me to eat things before they go bad so this would save me a lot of trouble when it comes to expiring!
Mel — December 7, 2009 @ 11:57 pm
I love my crockpot, but don’t always finish the big meals I make in them since I live alone. This will help keep my yummy food longer!
serena — December 8, 2009 @ 12:02 am
it just looks sooooo pretty
katey — December 8, 2009 @ 12:04 am
well, i have to admit, i have a grocery shopping addiction, and like you, eat mostly whole foods. so, in turn, my fresh veggies go bad quickly because my little snack bag ziplocs and glad-ware just don’t do the job! so, this would save me $$ and keep my greens fresh!
Stephanie — December 8, 2009 @ 12:17 am
I am a poor student, and find it much more affordable to make large batches of food and freeze it to eat at a later date. This machine would be prefect for me!
Low — December 8, 2009 @ 12:48 am
This would be great! I hate how bulky tupperware is.
Sharon — December 8, 2009 @ 12:54 am
I have to travel for school, so I am always cooking extra and freezing meals to take with me, this would be great for keeping them fresh or lasting longer in my freezer!!
Jessica — December 8, 2009 @ 1:30 am
Me me me!
I want this! I am a freezing machine and this would really help maximize my use of freezing local vegetables in season. 
Kayla — December 8, 2009 @ 1:34 am
I need the food saver because I live by myself and waste so much food, I absolutely hate that! This would help me drastically reduce my waste. Have a great day Tina!
Ashley — December 8, 2009 @ 2:34 am
I need this in my life because I can never finish the pack of asparagus I buy at Costco before it spoils!
Katie — December 8, 2009 @ 3:01 am
This would be so great for leftovers. Think about it, there are thousands of people living in poverty trying to make a loaf of bread or other food last, and here we are, throwing food away with out thinking twice. That’s why this would be a great food saver
Cates — December 8, 2009 @ 7:23 am
I’d love to have one of these because I prepare and freeze a lot of my own meals to use for later. This would help keep them tasting fresh!
Deb — December 8, 2009 @ 8:05 am
This would be great for me since I make seperate meals for myself. Unfortunatly my whole family is not on board with the way I eat & although I work hard to change that, it is not there yet so I continue to make seperate meals for myself. This would sure make less waste & room in the freezer.
Rose — December 8, 2009 @ 8:35 am
Wow. With the hubby unemployed, I buy in bulk and freeze. This would insure a longer shelf (freeze)life for my purchases. Can’t afford to throw anything away.
Kate N. — December 8, 2009 @ 10:02 am
I waste so much food. I end up making a recipe for 4 and there is only one of me! This would be great for soups, veggies and cheese!
Tracey @ tropical happiness — December 8, 2009 @ 10:46 am
Amazing giveaway! My sister-in-law has one and says she’ll never freeze anything in a baggie again- she loves hers!
