What's the best way to store dried herbs like basil and sage? How long will they last?

Planted small sage and basil plants, and they just took off.

There’s a good bit, but I’m not sure what the best way to store them is?
Don’t really have a lot of room either.

I was thinking jars maybe that I could get at walmart, but I’d probably have to get a lot.

I could grind it up, but then I’d have to clean the grinder in between grindings.

I thought about vacuum sealed bags though, they’re large and can hold a lot more than a jar, and takes up less space since the bag just surrounds the herbs.

and then there’s just plain tupperware. Like plastic containers.

What do you guys think?

What do you call those storage bags that you suction out with a vacuum hose?

I think I"ve seen them at Walmart and on As Seen on TV …but I have an Amazon card and I can’t find them on there cause Idk what to look for by name. It makes everything smaller so it’s easier to store. Anyone know what they’re called? Thanks.

Any advice for making bags of sealed poly sheets?

I want to seal some hardware (not food) in bags made of plastic sheets, the thicker types with thickness 4-6 mil. I plan to use plastic sheets available at retail stores like Walmart, e.g. Husky clear plastic sheeting made with recycled plastic (used mainly for paint drape, the package does not say Polyethylene but I assume it is).

Are the plastic sheetings of this type basically all the same and made of Polyethylene, in terms of durability, strength, resistence to water, etc. Assume the same thickness in the range 4-6 mil. I do not need vacuuming inside the bag. Or should I chose some specific sheeting made for sealing bags?

I plan to use a sealer like the one below

Are the space bag vacuum sealed clothes totes allowed to be carried through checked luggage?

I am going on a long trip and I saw these vacuum sealed clothes bags at walmart that are used for space saving. So wanting to save some space in my luggage I bought the largest one a tote bag 25"x20"x10" that fits perfectly in my suitcase. I am not sure if the TSA will accept it or not. Does anyone know about this, have you tried it or know some one who did? I am leaving tomorrow morning so I need to know asap if this is stupid or not! Thank you in advance.

Where can I buy those garment bags that you vacuum seal?

I know I can get them on the internet, but I want to buy them out right. Walmart? Target? Wherever? I need them very soon because I am going on a trip on the 3rd. Thanks.

space saver bags – for clothes – do they come with the vacuum part or do you buy that seperately?

Have your space bags ever leaked? Yes or No. Where did you buy them (Online, retail store, etc.)?

I know this has been answered before, but there’s mixed info about whether Space Bags (the kind you vacuum out all the air) actually work. Some people say they don’t work at all (leak immediately, leak within 24 hours, etc.), and others say they work fine.

Just a quick poll before I spend the $$$ to buy the 5 or so space bags that I need.

Also, trying to find if people have better luck buying them from retail (Walmart, Target, etc) or online (spacebag.com) in terms of whether they leak or not.

Thanks in advance.
