Where do you buy your plastic bags?

I am looking for a new source. My last 2 orders from PMG had faulty bags that leaked air and wouldn't pressurize. (2 pkgs. of pre-cut and 1 roll ! About $39)

Sending them back to PMG requires boxing, and a trip to UPS. Which is time consuming, more expense and a pain in the a$$.

PMG bags are made in China.

It's not my machine because it works fine with 'good' bags.

Where do you get your bags?

Thanks ---

Not sure exactly what PMG is. Tried doing a search and didn't see much on it?? Anyway, I get my bags from Costco. They have by FAR the best deal on bags. You get 6 big rolls for under , I think $20?? it maybe around $25? Anyway, It's about 5times the amount of plastic you get anywhere else..

Hope that helps?

Holy smokes, that is a good deal! The way my kids go through cereal and milk I should join Costco. I think it's even a better deal than the commissary on bulk items.

Periwinkle, do need the bags with texture on the back or can you use plain vacum bags?

I Still have over 25 cases of industrial strength vacum bags in clear and blue, ranging from 2.5# (2000 per cs)to 5# (1000 per cs) pouches. I think they are 5 and 7 mil.

These will not work on food saver brand.
sell it for cheap.

Matt, (Divers) --- my machine is a VacUPak. I think it might be similar to a Food Saver. It will take a 11.5" width bag.
No, I don't need to have texured on one side, but will those work for me? Also, I'll be long dead before I could get close to using 1000. But maybe could split with someone if they would work.

Thanks, Peri
