We go through a ton of Simply Marvelous Cherry rub around my house. It is my wife and kids' favorite rub. So, the last time I ordered from Steph, I got a 5lb bag of it. I saved the shaker from my first order. So, today I used the shaker to measure out shaker-sized portions. I then used my Foodsaver to vacuum seal each portion into individual bags. That way, when the shaker is empty, I just open one package at a time. Hopefully, with it being vacuum sealed, it will stay fresh for a while. I was able to get about 7 shaker-fulls from a bag.
