    Crap. I went to the Walmart and of course none of the FreshVac's to be found in store.

    Totally unrelated as I probably won't use these for snus but rather food stuffs, ended up buying these for a 10 dollar bill:

    Ladies were practically trying to go down on me as I wheeled my cart up front to pay for these, especially when they asked how much and I said only $10.

    Any thoughts on whether it's better to (a) put a can of loose that you are carrying with you during the day back in the fridge at night or (b) once you have taken the can out of the fridge for daily use, just leave it out until it's gone rather than back and forth to the fridge?

    With portions, I don't re-refrigerate the can I carry daily. And the portions I carry around will normally be used within 2-3 days after coming out of the fridge. I use a lot less loose--only started using loose at all last month, and so far it's seeming like a can will probably last me 1-2 weeks.

    Thanks for the leg work snusgetter. I have to stop in at the Walmart after work today and I'll see if they have any in stock. I could use some moAr tupperware type containers anyhoo as many of mine seemed to have found 'legs' in the past two years thanks to my Ex.

    Mine were given to me as a gift more than a year ago (BJs had them);
    wish they still had 'em!! I'd even settle for a large FoodSaver Container.

    Walmart has 2 sets listed but no single containers:
    Freshvac Pro Large Square Container Set, 6-Piece
    http://www.walmart.com/ip/Freshvac-P...-Piece/8056616

    Freshvac Pro Deep Rectangle Container Set, 6-Piece
    http://www.walmart.com/ip/Freshvac-P...-Piece/8056615

    Reviews:

    Looks like Site-to-Store is the best option (no shipping charges) --
    That may be the only option since I haven't been able to find any locally.



    Target has a single container (but not in-store):

    13.52 cup vacuum sealing container

    Another suggestion..

    I also use Freshvac Vacuum Containers for storing my opened snus in the fridge...
    I've not had any dry out on me so far in 3 months time.


    (Snus is classified as produce, right?)

    All you do is press down on the closed cover and, voila -- vacuum sealed!!
    They're available in sets or as individual containers.

    It's not an "expiration" date, it's a "best before" date.

    Just out of curiosity... whats the difference? Does the Freshsaver have a motorized pump or something vs the Ziploc manual?
    Messin' is good and sometimes even gooder!
    I tend to think likewise.


    FreshSaver is cordless with a charging base always at hand.
    Its sucking power blows the ZipLoc Pump outta dis world!
    (something I shoulda mentioned in my plug -- minus 2 points on the adometer!)




    Edit:
    I forgot to mention that
    , as a bonus, the FreshSaver comes with
    a simple attachment to seal FoodSaver canisters.


    OR
    if you have one of the full-blown FoodSavers the hose
    attachment dingy also works with the ZipLoc bags.





    (dang, this sure is getting confusin' .. but once you check it out it will all come together like your favorite puzzle)

    The zipper bags that FreshSaver makes are refrigerator bags as opposed to the ZipLoc freezer bags.

    The FreshSaver Pump works like a charm on the ZipLoc bags and, after sealing mucho bags of snus (30+), I've only had a couple failures; somehow little pinpricks had developed. At around $20, this was/is a good investment! AND, believe it or not, it's great for freezing FOODS or storing keepsakes!! AND I use them to "marinate" snus with numerous extracts...

    Do yourself a favor (yeah, you) -- get the FreshSaver Sealing System + some Quart and Gallon ZipLoc Freezer Bags... you won't regret it (especially with today's economy being in disarray)!




    A worthwhile investment indeed!!



    Too bad I can't get paid for this!!
