ZIP-LOC BAGS

I have been testing out various sizes of Zip-loc bags to see if they can do the same as the "space bags". I have never done well with those "spacies" as the zipper on the top never seems to close the bags. WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY!

The Zip-loc bags used to be sandwich size, but not any more! You actually have a choice of stuffing and almost closing the top before either sitting on the full bag to let out the air or actually taking your vacuum and doing the same as with the space bags...just a bit more maneuvering. I never realized how many blankets I had in the house. Here are some before and after photos.

There are also stacking bags that are flexible but do have air escapes. They should not be placed in a storage room where any moldy smell may get in. The other ones can.

Can you get a week's worth of clothing into a carry-on bag to avoid paying even that first $25 bag check-in? Check back on this.
