Do Kenmore brand vac seal bags work with Food Saver?

[StillPinballFamily]

Hey - was in Kmart this a.m. - clearing them out of the last of their half-price LED xmas lights and happened to see the Kenmore (Sears) brand of bags for vacuum sealers - they were on sale. The Food Saver ones right next to them were not.

I need refills for our Food Saver - anyone know if the Kenmore ones work? They are the same size, etc. as I'm used to, but don't want to open the sealed boxes to check if I'm going to need to return them.

Thanks to anyone who can help!

I was wondering the same thing about the ones they sell at Walmart (I don't remember the brand, starts with an "R" I think).

We did, however, find a good deal on Foodsaver brand bags at BJ's, there were four rolls in the box, and while I don't remember the price, I know it was less per roll than buying them individually. I think there were 3 rolls of gallon size and one of quart size.

Sorry I couldn't be more help!

Thanks, I'll check the prices at BJs next time I'm in there.

I did see some Rival brand bags for the vacuum sealers in a local grocery store today, and that box said "works with other vacuum sealing systems" but the Kenmore box did not say anything like that.

Which is why I'm unsure whether they'll work with my FoodSaver...

Anyone?

I'm pretty sure that they all work with each other. As long as it is for a heat-seal machine, you should be good.

BTW, baggies and chip bags also work.

No way! Really? Any special kind (name brand Baggies) or just the cheapie store brand like we usually buy? Wow! I didn't know this...
