They are always available used at thrift stores and they are simple machines but I can reseal bags of chips or other grocery items. You can make your own bags for cheap from a roll and then individually wrap portions for the freezer that stay longer and don’t get freezer burn. And if you get one that has a hose attachment you can seal bottles of wine, mead, or Tupperware for the fridge if you get the right lids.
