suitcase vacuum sacks
 

you know what i mean.... the clear polythene bags that you put all your clothes in and then suck all the air out, thereby reducing volume and enabling you to fit more crap into your suitcase...

...anyway, has anyone used them on here? what are they like? worth the expense?

and is there anywhere i can get them fairly cheaply if they are worth it? i know we sell them at work but at £10.99 each i don't think it is worth it ;)

Yeah I use them. They are good for putting clothes and other things in the loft so they dont get any dust and dirt in them.
I cant remember exactly where I got them. Will have a look tommorow and get back to you. But I reccomend them.

The students version would be, cling film and a hair dryer............. shrink rap :rofl: :shrug: sorry in one of those moods ;)

They are called SpaceBags... Not sure how effective the are, but they seem pretty good in the infomercials (but doesn't everything?)

Useful if you have a lot of compressible stuff you want to keep like blankets, but most people don't...

get a bin liner and find a girl who can suck an orange through a hose pipe to do the rest. let me know her phone number when u find her ;)

Re: suitcase vacuum sacks
 

you are disgusting... :p:

Re: suitcase vacuum sacks
 

put the clothes in the bin liner and get her to suck the air out. (will be hard as she has been trained to expel hot air for years) Whats disgusting about that?

Argos do 2 for £12.
QVC do 8 for £30 ish

Er indoors just got 2 from Argos to try them, put all the kids teddies in them before we move house.
Her wedding dress is another candidate for one.

£11 each is too expensive, however if you sell them at work, don't you get a discount?

2 for £12 from Argos, and well worth the money :tu:

They are great for fitting more in your suitcase but a hell of a problem if customs open it and unseal the bags. :D :D :D :D

Says he while hastily going off to find a girl who can do just that..

Those people that come around the doors with the little books...the ones with the little gadgets ...they always have them!

Re: suitcase vacuum sacks
 

Surely JML sell them!

Re: suitcase vacuum sacks
 

yes JML sell them....

and no i refuse to get things from work at the moment, ive only been there slightly under 3 months and you have to be there 6 months or more to get discount.

quite good when you do get the discount really though, 20% off anything at homebase and 10% off anything at argos ;) :D
