Well crap, if I hadn't just ordered the food saver brand I would probably get those from amazon. That's a boat load more feet for the $.
 

Great Price MisterChrister.....

Yes Vac-Master rolls and bags work with Food Saver, Weston, or any other Vac-sealer using micro-channel bags.

They also have 100 Pint bags - $11.28, 100 Quart bags - $16.22, and 100 Gallon bags - $27.55, all normal everyday prices...... With bags at this price it doesn't pay to make your own bags, so I use the rolls for large items like ribs and small loins.
 
I was not sure if the Vac master would fit in my machine and after reading up on them it is to big for my Foodsaver 3000 series sealer. I went with the food saver bags as well after seeing reviews that the Vac master bags were not as thick and could only be used once before they came apart. That may not always be the case for everyone, but I know I can reuse the Foodsaver bags that have had dried food after washing them.
 
Ai know it doesn't save money, my conservative nature makes it hard for me to throw things away that can be repurposed/reused. Has anyone found a way to run the used bags through the dishwasher?

I know, I know...crazy!

Where do you find those bags by them? Amazon?

Vac-Master bags are 3 mil the same as Foodsaver and Gamesaver bags, where as Weston and Gamesaver Heavy Duty are 4 mil. I have reused Vac-Master bags with no issues several times sealing the leftovers in the same pouch after washing. Make sure you are reading the review for the micro-channel bags and not the Vac-Master chamber bags..

Not crazy, the Weston bags hold up well in the dishwasher as they are much thicker, several people here do run them through a dishwasher and reuse them.

FWIW, a while ago I purchased these and they have been working well:

Just another option to price check vs the VacMaster rolls - they are about the same price now.
