If there is one thing that I cannot live without in my kitchen, it is my Reynolds Handi-Vac. I use it for everything from storing dried beans & rice to storing meat in the freezer. I have had a problem in the past with creepy crawlers that like to get in to rice & flour but my Handi-Vac solved that problem. I LOVE my Handi-Vac. Well, a few weeks ago, I noticed my local grocery store had the Quart sized bags on the discontinued table for .79 each. I snagged them all up and have already used 3 boxes! I didn’t think much about them being discontinued…thought maybe they weren’t a hot item in that particular store. Little did I know that they are no longer making them – Click here to read my sadness…

…Now what will I do??? I love this thing. I can’t live without it in my kitchen. I am heart broken…

I am baffled as to why this item didn’t go over so well. It wasn’t expensive when it came out and I even used a coupon to purchase mine so that made it even better. Do you have one or have you tried it? I’d like to know you thoughts on this. Not that it will make them bring it back but still…when all of my bags are gone, my happy vacuum sealing days are over I suppose.
