My wife collects FoodSavers. Not really, she only has three of them and she uses them all the time. She vacuums 
seals all kinds of foods and spices in mason jars. This is the second video she has made on them. It shows a smaller less expensive version of the FoodSaver that is designed to seal jars and some plastic bags called a Mealsaver. My wife likes it for sealing jars, because it takes less room on her counter. The following is a video she made showing how to use it and a trick she learned for sealing fine powders like spices.

I really appreciate the way your website offers such great ideas for us preppers. This looks just like what I’ve been looking for!!! I don’t have a big Foodsaver because of space issues. I do have a couple of questions. I noticed that you just put the device on top of the jar sealer. Do I just need to buy the jar sealers (and not the tube attachment)?
Which model did you demonstrate? I saw several different numbers on Amazon which was confusing. Thanks for your help.
Hi Barbara, The type is VS400 Meal Saver Model # fsmssy0200-000 Bag sealer . This was on the bottom of the sealer. The front has Food Saver Meal Saver. I got mine at Sierra trading. Its now listed for 31.95 and they are sold out. I know that Amazon had it also. With this machine you only need the sealers NOT the tubing, you are right. I love to seal everything I can. Thanks for your question as always we’re here to help.
Thank you for the information – I’ve ordered one. I’m new at dehydrating also and have a quick question. Is it beneficial to drop a food grade dessicant pak into a jar of home dehydrated food before vacuum sealing it so that there’s less chance for spoilage? I’ve saved some from my vitamin bottles.
