Vacuum packed food stays fresher longer than folded in the refrigerator. But there is no point in spending money on special equipment that sucks air out of the bag. You can save products with the help of available tools.

2 life hacks to help keep foods longer

1. Zip bag and cocktail tube

Place the washed food in a zip-top bag, insert the cocktail straw and zip the bag up to the straw. Use your hands to squeeze out as much air as you can, and then remove the remaining air through the straw. The hardest part is not to let the air back in while you close the bag completely.

2. A bag and a bowl of water

It is more difficult to remove all the air in this way, but you can use regular food bags with it. Just place the grocery bag in a large bowl of water. The fluid pressure will displace the air. You just have to close or tie the bag.

Both methods cannot be compared to a professional packer, but they still work.
