Vacuum storage bags

Not sure if i am just the last one to try these. These things are awesome. I normally have 4 large construction bags worth of pillows and comforters from the boat in my basement over the winter. This cut it way down. The first pic shows the size of the bag and the same stuff in a vacuum bag. Second pic is everything all sealed up.

Yes they work great, we used them for packing blankets when we moved across country. My only complaint is that they seem to tear easily if the catch any sharp edges.

I bought these off of Amazon. It was an assortment of 15 bags for $25 and they were the Amazon Basics brand. I was actually pretty impressed with how durable they felt. I was worried about smells seeping through the plastic.

They will keep whatever is in them fresh as long as it's clean and fresh going in. Make sure you don't put anything not just or recently cleaned in them or they will also hold in any smell and magnify it 😷

We use the for all our boat stuff each winter.  Add a bounce fabric softener to each bag, it'll help with freshness.👍

Do you have a link to the bags? I got some from Bed Bath and Beyond a few years ago and they don’t hold the vacuum.
