As prices on everything from gas to groceries continue to rise, any little way to save money can help cut down on your household spending.

While shopping for food in bulk has long been hailed as one of the best ways to stretch your budget, it can backfire if you don't actually get around to eating it in time. Proper storage is an easy way to ensure that your food stays fresh for as long as possible, and if you're looking to branch out past a sea of Tupperware containers, it may be time to invest in a vacuum sealer.

The Meidong Food Vacuum Sealer Machine is a top-rated pick among Amazon Canada shoppers, and it's on sale now for $60.

If you've never used a vacuum sealer on your food before, it may be time to consider adding one to your collection of kitchen essentials. When used on items like meat or vegetables, this vacuum sealer helps preserve freshness for up to eight times longer than other storage methods.

Thanks to a highly effective vacuum pump, this machine quickly suctions air out of the included vacuum seal bags to help prevent freezer burn and reduce food waste. It features multiple settings to tackle a range of foods, including everything from meat to dried goods to baked treats.

A popular choice among Amazon shoppers, the Meidong Food Vacuum Sealer Machine has received a 4.3-star average rating from hundreds of customer reviews. Shoppers have called this vacuum sealer an "amazing little unit" that delivers "perfect results every time."

Shoppers agree that it "will save a lot of money in the long run," as bulk food purchases can be divided into smaller portions for use at different times.

If you're new to vacuum sealing food, this unit has been called "easy as 1, 2, 3," to use, as it features a simple one-touch control, as well as a "must" for "moms who love cooking and freezing in bulk."

"I love that it has both a dry and wet setting," added another.

As with any new appliance, reviewers note that there is "a bit of a learning curve" when it comes to figuring out how to use this vacuum sealer. They also caution that you make sure to exclusively use vacuum seal bags when sealing food, as "regular bags will not work."

Whether you're an avid gardener, a bulk shopper, or a meal prepper, a food vacuum sealer is a worthwhile purchase to help keep your food fresh for as long as possible. At its current sale price of $60, the Meidong Food Vacuum Sealer Machine is one of the most affordable options around.

Reviewers have been impressed by its suction power and ability to make food storage a breeze. However, you may find yourself in a period of trial and error before you get the full swing of using this food vacuum sealer.
