And if you get one of those "handy-dandy" things that pull the air out 
of a package before doing a heat seal, what you purchase will keep a lot 
longer!  This also keeps stuff from getting freezer burn.  This is one 
appliance that is REALLY worth the cost, though they're not really all 
that expensive.  I've seen them reasonabley priced at BJ's Warehouse on 
a regular basis.
