I got out of the marine corps and i want to store my old uniforms on a long term basis. I may never put them on again but im not ready to get rid of them yet. What would be the best container to put them in? Would the vacuum seal bags be ok or would that destroy anything? Thanks

I drank some old tea lying around my house and when I finished it I realized that its expiration was a year or two old. Will I be okay I also usually drink tea with the leaves out of the bag. Also the tea bags are in some kinda vacuum sealed pack. The tea is Kirkland signature green tea.

I’m a cleaner for a large company.The ladies toilets have these metal boxes on the side of the stalls for women to discard their tampons. I collect them and take them home and when I get them home I vacuum seal them in ziplock bags (I’ve found that if you don’t they really start to stink). I don’t know if this is consider to be stealing, and the womens’ DNA is probably still on them, but they threw them away, right? One person’s trash is another’s treasure, right?

Here’s the deal: I bought this chicken from Costco in vacuum sealed bags and put straight in the freezer. I took one pack out and let it defrost in the fridge (probly 2 days to defrost). After that I have had in the fridge for about 7 days. I took it out and opened it up- there is absolutely NO odor whatsoever, the chicken smells fine. So just to be safe I washed it off under cold water and patted dry. I am almost sure this chicken is ok.. but what do you guys think?

I constantly find ice(crystals) in my frozen foods that have been in the fridge for a while,
mostly in frozen food double zipped baggies
Food stored in vacuum sealed storage bags seem not to have this problem.
I try to force as much air as possible out of the storage bags before I seal them.
This also happens although not as often with frozen meals products.
Am I doing something wrong?

We all know that if you prefer not to chill your sliced bread in a refrigerator but prefer to keep it in a larder instead and keeping it in it’s original wrapping, it normally remains fresh for at least 2 days and normally it is eaten by then.
So I wonder if anyone knows why crusty rolls or french sticks and other loose rolls, etc often come in perforated plastic bags. Surely this lets in air and allows in bacteria too?
Perhaps a baker or a packaging manufacturer may know why we use this.
I’ve never had a bread bin. I’ve often noticed other people’s, which puts me off getting one as it looks messy, too many crumbs and far too many air-gaps.
I tried using a sealed container such as a tupperware container which works if you can find one big or long enough. Tupperware works great for keeping cakes and pastries too.
Using vacuum seal bags would work out too expensive and is far too much hassle to have to do each time.

I digress!!

So why don’t we get loose rolls, etc in normal plastic or waxed paper wrap?
Which method of ‘bread storing’ works best for you?

well last year in home ec. class we used this prepackaged tofu to make salads. it was really really really good! it was dense and just in some vacuum sealed bag. do they sell these at stores? like at Nugget. or safeway or something?

is it possible to get a normal land digital camera, put it in a ziplock or vacuum sealed bag, and use it under water? i know that the picture might come out blurry, but will it work?

Bagged clams were bought yesterday and kept cold. The bag is vacuum sealed and was recently boiled/steamed for 15 minutes. The clams (mussels) were originally shut and heated open. Is it safe?

I don’t want to pay 0+ to preserve my gown. Especially in case I ever want to get it out again. What about using a vacuum seal bag and then putting it in a Rubbermaid tote?
