Food Saver Gold - Give Away!!

Sometimes I am just not a master of the obvious! Most of the time, pretty simple things elude me, but this time...

Here is a VERY small sample of my stash (wow, that almost sounds illegal)! It was during one of my organizational rampages that I discovered this amazing and economical use after having to throw out bottles of polish that had gone unused for years. What a waste!!! And yes, I missed that particular use in the infomercial from way back when! :) NOW I know that when you hit sales on things like nail polish or shampoos, you can stock up and vacuum seal them and they stay just like brand new for when you're ready to use them. This is something that will free many polish lovers who fall in love with a specific color but cannot stock up for fear that the polish will dry up before they are through with the first bottle. Not anymore polish addicts and future polish addicts... here's your fix! I even did that with last years Halloween makeup! You know... the make up that you only get to use once, have a ton left over that you hate to waste and cannot save because the make-up cake/crayon dries up before the next Halloween rolls around. I'll have to let everyone know how the makeup works out THIS Halloween. Anyway, I scour the internet for specials on lots as well as hitting my local beauty supply stores when they're having a sale; I stock up on the discontinued items that I love, seal them and save them in a shoe box packet on the top shelf of my closet. I never have to worry about running out of my favorites of anything... well, at least not for awhile anyway. Check with me in a year or five when I'm crying because I'm completely out of the 4 bottles of the China Glaze Ghoulish Glow I have horded! hahaha! There's NOTHING like glow in the dark nails to make the trick-or-treater's eyes pop! It's awesome over black polish! By the way... I reseal my Ghoulish Glow between uses because it doesn't get used except in October. Well, but that excludes today, because looking at it made me want slap some on. I'll reseal it tonight and put it back in storage for a few more months! {Wink!}

Now for the fun stuff! Do you own a Food Saver; what creative and helpful ways do you use yours? Everyone who adds me to their follow list and leaves a comment to this post by June 15th will be entered to win the brand new, wonderful and amazing 'A Match Made In Heaven' set that you see here.

Winner will be posted on my blog on June 16th. Good luck to everyone!
