Found: Space Bags

[misshayley]

Does anyone know a store that I can buy space bags from? I used to buy them at Wal-Mart but I can't seem to find them anymore. Has anyone seen them anywhere?

 

Thanks everyone, I found them at K-mart.

I was looking for them last month....I saw them at Home Depot, Target, and Kmart.

My Costco has them.

I've thought about getting some of those. What do you store in them?

[misshayley]

You can store anything cloth in them. I am storing Santa hats in them.

I got some a few years ago and they were junk. Obviously you've had good luck with the ones you have already. What's the secret?

I got some holiday space bags at Christmas and one of them tore right across the zipper the first time I tried to use it. I wrote to the Space Bag company and they said to send them the UPC code cut out from the bag and they would replace any defective space bags. It seems like I have problems with about half of mine staying sealed so I plan on sending them several UPC codes and keep trying till they all work.

Got a set at Bed, Bath and Beyond. Half of them did not seal, so I wrote the company and they told me to send them the logo cut from the faulty bags. I did that and a month later, got replacement bags. Have not tried them yet. The problem seems to be in the zipper seal. You can hear a hiss when they do not seal. NOT worth the money they charge for them. Luckily, I had a GC. Wish I had bought something else....

 

I used mine to store "off season" bedding in them.

I was at a Walmart today and they still had them .. they were on a side cap and in the aisle

Walmart has them, and they had them at Tuesday mornings today for 6.99 they were Coleman brand though.

Where at WM did you find them, because I looked where they used to be and there weren't any. Maybe they have just moved them. They used to be with our coat hangers and hanging storage things.

I have had very good luck with them, I love the travel ones. Not only can I pack more, but I think my stuff isn't as wrikled when I unpack.

I bought some a few years back to store comforters, extra pillows, etc. They sealed fine, "smooshed" everything down like they were supposed to...then they ripped, one by one. Bought some new ones at a local store figuring I must have done something wrong...same thing, bag material was very thin and ripped easily. Went to Walmart and bought Rubbermaid containers instead...obviously not space saving, but they haven't ripped yet.

My sister taught me to make my own. Black trash bag, put in the items to be stored. Insert vacum cleaner hose to remove air. Quickly tie in a knot. Works like a charm for bedding, blankets and stuffed toys (I store the seasonal decorative ones). I haven't tried it on smaller items.

I LOVE my Space Bags! But I did see the trash bag trick on PBS. I don't know if I'm quick enough to get the hose out and the knot tied before it inflates.

About the trash bag trick, try wrapping a rubber band arount the vacum nozzle and bag, then roll it off to close the bag until the knot is tied. It may help
