Because Foodsaver requires you to use their special bags. Besides being WAY
overpriced, the bags ain't cheap either. Yeah I knew about pump'n'seal, but

shared these priceless pearls of wisdom:

-
-Why don't you just get a foodsaver? (www.foodsaver.com). It will do the
-vacuum pack as well as sealing the bag (and you can make arbitrary sized bag
-as long as it's narrower than the roll of "bag stock." I've got one in the
kitchen.
-
-If that's too pricey for you, then there's always this one $14.94, not sold in
stores....
