Do these bags need a vacuum sealer?

Yes. The zip closure holds the bag shut, but you need a FoodSaver handheld sealer or a compatible vacuum sealer to pull the air out. They are not heat-seal bags.

Yes, they are designed to be reopened and resealed. Rinse and dry them between uses, and retire any bag whose zipper stops closing tightly.

What size portions fit?

Each bag is about 4.5 by 8 inches, so plan on single servings, cheese slices, snacks or small cuts of meat rather than large roasts.

Yes, the listing states the plastic is BPA-free.

Is $9.59 a good price?

These are FoodSaver zipper-style vacuum bags, sold as an 18-piece set in a small 4.5 by 8 inch size. They seal with a zip closure and a vacuum sealer rather than heat sealing, and they are BPA-free. At $9.59 at Blain's Farm & Fleet as of November 7, 2026, they are the only new price listed, so there is no recent range to compare against.
