I should have said there's another one that is mechanical and works without you needing to tire your arms
But this one is cheaper which is why I got it

I got the bags already. Just need the pump. So that I don't have to use the machine all the time. Besides, like you said, it's very cheap. Ziploc used to make one. Don't see it any more. This is good!!I should have said there's another one that is mechanical and works without you needing to tire your arms

Just want to announce that I'm a proper adult now. I bought my first set of Tupperware-brand containers
It's not the same, today. When I was a kid, you couldn't buy Tuperware at retail. My mom went to "Tupperware Parties" where she would order them.

…and they had a starter set that was very popular as a wedding gift (we got one).
Yes when I was 11 or 12 my best friend's mom used to sell Tupperware, as well as Avon cosmetics. I never went to a Tupperware party hosted by her, but I did go to one of her Avon parties and it was awful.

It' still available. You can get it on Amazon or Ebay.
Here's part of my Tupperware family. I got two ventsmarts (for keeping produce in the fridge), four basic line containers, and five freezer mates. Only the freezer mates were new (they were discounted) the others were thrifted/second hand.

Bought this large 8-qt orange Tupperware bowl with black Dome lid some time ago on Amazon.
I think I’ve had an epiphany regarding “knicks with knives” - I clipped the side of my left index finger tonight, and I wasn’t even cutting anything.
I was holding a knife in my right hand, after dropping some vegetable peels in the trash with my left hand. I turned back toward the cutting board (to my left), and as my left arm was moving across my body, my finger encountered the knife.
I know, hard to envision, and it all happened in a split second, but that’s when I realized, I nearly always cut myself when I’m doing something other than slicing and dicing, but I’m still holding onto the knife.
The issue is, once I pick up a knife, I don’t like to put it down until I’m sure I’m done with it, so I’ll open the fridge door with my right hand while also holding a knife, or I’ll open a jar of pickles while still holding a knife, or like tonight, drop scraps in the trash while holding onto that knife.
Eureka!
A dangerous precedent. One day you´ll go to scratch your head and end up like Van Gogh. Put the knife down!
I’d be lying if I said I’ve never poked myself in the forehead with a paring knife.

I went to Tupperware Parties. The few pieces I have are the best storage containers in my cabinet. Expensive but a great product.
